Contrary to reports that they had bid for a 'wrong' player because of confusion in the name, Punjab Kings on Wednesday issued a clarification that they had picked the right cricketer during the IPL auction 2024 in Dubai.

Shashank Singh was bought during the later part of the IPL auction 2024 on Tuesday with franchises looking to add a few uncapped Indian players in the base price range of Rs 20 lakh.
