The same script repeated in PBKS next game as Punjab lost half of their side on 91 while chasing 183 against Sunrisers Hyderabad, and their sixth wicket on 114 after 15.3.

Then started the Ashutosh and Shashank show, both batters added 66 runs in last 27 balls, with Ashutosh remained the successive in the partnership with a 15-ball 33*.  

With 29 required of the final over, Ashutosh tried his best with 2 consecutive sixes, followed by Shashank’s last ball maximum, Punjab, however lost the game by only 2 runs.  

Punjab’s top-order once again went flat in third successive time in the league, this time while batting first and lost half of their team on 70 in 12.1 overs.  

Ashutosh’s heroics rescued the side in third straight game and helped PBKS to post a decent total.

There is no change in Punjab’s top-order performance script in their game against Mumbai Indians too, as the side’s top-5 batters walked back to pavilion at 49 while chasing 193.  

The 25-year-old Ashutosh not only helped his side recover from a humiliating position but brought the Kings back in the game with his 360-powered 28-ball 61 knock that included 7 maximum and a sweep six against the world’s best bowler Jasprit Bumrah.  

Ashutosh Sharma amazed not only the crowd but the players as well, especially Suryakumar Yadav, who is famous for playing 360-degree shots. Sharma’s ability and range tested MI’s patience in the game and brought joys on the faces on Punjab and Indian cricket fans.

Sharma’s knock against Mumbai Indians opened the debates of including him into the Indian squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup. While there is no doubt on his ability to hit the maximums, Ashutosh will likely to miss the T20 WC squad flight this time due to already overcrowded choices for the finisher role.

But if he continued to play in the same manner, he is sure to get a place in the Indian team soon.
