PHEW! Another thrilling encounter in the Indian Premier League! Some brilliant hits from youngsters Shashank and Ashutosh seal the victory for Punjab Kings. That will be it from our coverage from this game! Ninaad Dixit here signing off on behalf of my co-commentators Akshay Bhide, Akshaya Polya Krishna & Sidharth Gulati and scorer/analyst Paras Yadav. Stay tuned for more cricketing action from around the world.
Shashank Singh (Player of the Match): "Still trying to sink in because I visualized all these things before the match and turning it into reality, feeling really happy and proud of myself.
I feel cricketing shots more so it was just that watch the ball and react to it. That's what the coach told me. Usually I bat at 7, today I batted at 5 so the coach told me to play on the merit.
The wicket was really good, the bounce was very good. 200 scored by both teams so the wicket was fantastic [for batting].
[Rashid and co.] They are the legends of the cricket but when you go to bat I feel like I am the best in the world. I see the ball and react to it.
You get experience. I couldn't get much matches before. When I played in SRH, it was good experience there. Here the coaching staff, the management and the owners backed me during the practice sessions and I was really confident."

Shikhar Dhawan (PBKS Skipper): "It was an amazing game. It went very close and our boys held the nerves and did the job.
The plan was to go hard. Unfortunately, I got out but we did well in the powerplay. The main thing is to keep the positive intent and Shashank played very well and did the job.
When we are chasing the big total, we have to keep the momentum going. Shashank hit the sixes effortlessly and it is glad to see him be on our side.
He (Shashank Singh) timed the ball so nicely. He hit the sixes effortlessly and finishing the game, that was very important. He is playing IPL after a long time. This shows what he is capable of. He starting from number seven and it shows his mindset.
I want to speak about Ashutosh as well. It's nice to see him keeping the calm and nice to see them performing."
