Having been in the circuit for the last five years, this opportunity they have given me is something I'll be forever grateful for. Now, it's my time to prove them right," Shashank said after the retentions were announced. At the IPL 2024 auction, Punjab Kings secured the services of Shashank at his base price of Rs 20 lakh, but then claimed it was a 'mistake'.
