Punjab Kings (PBKS) made headlines in the IPL 2024 season, but not for the right reasons. Following a tumultuous start with an inadvertent player acquisition, the team faced criticism for its subdued response to a pivotal moment in a recent match against Gujarat Titans.

During the auction debacle back in December 2023, PBKS inadvertently acquired the services of the elder Shashank Singh from Chhattisgarh instead of their intended target, a younger batter. Despite the mix-up, PBKS opted to retain the seasoned campaigner, a decision that proved fruitful.

In a high-stakes encounter against Gujarat Titans, Shashank Singh delivered a match-winning performance. He steered PBKS to a remarkable three-wicket victory by crafting an unbeaten 61 off just 29 balls, embellished with six boundaries and four towering sixes. 

However, the celebrations that ensued failed to match the magnitude of Shashank's feat. Social media buzzed with disappointment as neither the player nor his teammates made a conspicuous effort to acknowledge his maiden IPL half-century.

The lack of fervor from PBKS towards Shashank's achievement ignited a fervent discussion among fans. Many argued that the franchise missed an opportunity to commemorate the milestone and honor the player's pivotal role in securing victory.

The incident highlights the importance of recognizing and celebrating individual achievements within a team. While PBKS emerged victorious, the subdued response to Shashank Singh's resilient innings leaves room for introspection.
