Shashank Singh: PBKS forced to take unwanted player at IPL 2024 Auction - Inside Sport India
Shashank Singh: Punjab Kings (PBKS) forced to take unwanted player at IPL 2024 Auction after huge blunder as paddle was kept high.
www.insidesport.inI don’t have live updates from my current session, but here’s the latest widely reported information about Shashank Singh’s IPL 2026 price and status based on recent coverage.
- In IPL 2024, Shashank Singh was reportedly picked by Punjab Kings (PBKS) for a price around ₹20 Lakh, with later reports noting his continued involvement with PBKS in subsequent seasons. This reflects the price baseline many outlets cited for his initial return to PBKS in 2024 and his retention discussions for 2025.[1][2]
- For IPL 2025 and 2026, multiple outlets and aggregators have tracked Shashank Singh as a key PBKS player, with retention figures commonly cited around ₹5.5 crore for 2025 in several summaries, and continued discussions of market value in that range for 2026 as well.[6][7][9]
- A 2026 round-up noted PBKS and Shashank Singh in strong form, with performance contributing to discussions about retention or further auctions in 2026–27, though exact final auction or retention price for 2026 may vary by franchise decisions and official announcements.[9]
Key caveats
- IPL prices and retention are franchise decisions and can change with each mega-auction cycle or retention window. Different outlets sometimes report different figures based on timing and insider sources.
- Some articles in 2025–2026 discuss potential price ranges and retention scenarios rather than official disclosures.
If you’d like, I can search for the very latest official PBKS announcements or IPL auction/retention PDFs and summarize the exact 2026 price as soon as those sources are available. Would you like me to pull the most current official updates now?
