Punjab Kings (PBKS) batters Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma almost pulled another remarkable win for their team against SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on April 9. Needing 183 to win, the duo added 66 runs in the 27 balls including three huge sixes in the last over. PBKS, however, lost the game by two runs in the end.
Needing 29 runs in the last over, Sharma hit first ball by Jaydev Unadkat towards deep midwicket which burst through the hands of Nitish Reddy for a six. The bowler, under pressure, bowled two wides before being hit for another six.

With 14 runs off the target from the first two balls, Unadkat gave away just just six runs in the next three balls and effectively won the game for SRH. Shashank, nonetheless, hit the last ball for a six to help PBKS in net run rate. Have a look at the last over below:
This is not the first time Shashank and Sharma's cameo turned the tables for PBKS. In Punjab's previous match against Gujarat Titans, Sharma and Shashank had helped the team get over the line a chase of 200. The duo had added 43 runs in just 22 balls to get Punjab from 150/6 in 15.3 overs to 193/7 in 19.1 overs. PBKS had won the game by three wickets with one ball left in a stunning chase.
