Shashank Singh Introduction
Shashank Singh has always been one of the favourites in the league cricket system in Mumbai. He is someone who loves to strike the ball in the cleanest way possible, he can also bowl utility off-breaks and is a good fielder too if required.
Taking consideration of his batting and bowling abilities both of this makes him a good package for white-ball cricket and the few clips of him in List A cricket have shown his hunger for playing. However he still might be not fully harnessed in terms of experience in the domestic circuit, Shashank is part of the set of players who have hope to use the IPL platform for their recognition. Speaking of the Indian Premier League, He has been picked by teams like Delhi Capitals at the 2019 auctions and also by the Rajasthan Royals.
In fact, he was the first allrounder bought at the IPL 2019, by Rajasthan Royals in the auctions. Shashank is an aggressive all-rounder and his presence has always balanced the squad. He has proved to be a utility player with his handy bowling while also hitting the long ball when needed.
Perhaps there were times when Shashank could cont deliver when required. He had instances where his bat failed to speak, and that immediately start ed to reflect in his batting. The same had an effect on his IPl career. when he started to getting ignored and unsold by many of the franchises.
