Part-Timer Shashank Singh Removes Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma in Same Over During PBKS vs SRH IPL 2026 [WATCH]

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) explosive openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma, who were absolutely looking in carnage mode, fell prey to Punjab Kings (PBKS) part-time bowler Shashank Singh during the PBKS vs SRH clash today (April 11) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2026). Shashank’s double blow came after the SRH opening duo had already piled up a 120-run stand which included 105 runs in the powerplay.

With the PBKS bowlers looking absolutely clueless, skipper Shreyas Iyer decided to bring in Shashank Singh into the attack. He bowled a tidy first over, leaking just six runs as Travis and Abhishek found it difficult to attack with the change in pace.

Shashank eventually got his reward on the first ball of his second over, as PBKS finally drew first blood with the wicket of Travis Head, who departed after a quickfire 23-ball 38. It was a slower ball short of length as Head swung across the line but was a bit early and hit it straight down long on where Xavier Bartlett catches it comfortably.

One ball later, Shashank added another scalp to his tally with Abhishek’s dismissal for a fiery 28-ball 74. It was a length delivery outside off and Abhishek threw his bat at it, looking to carve it over extra cover for another maximum. However, the left-hander failed to generate the necessary power and holed out to deep extra cover.

PBKS look to capitalise after Shashank Singh removed Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma

Speaking about the PBKS vs SRH contest so far, it has been a one-sided affair, mostly with the Punjab bowlers being taken to the cleaners before Shashank managed to find a breakthrough. However, PBKS now have momentum on their side and will hope to capitalise on it to restrict SRH in the second half of their innings.

At the time of writing this report, the SRH scoreboard read 175/3 in 14.5 overs with Aniket Verma and Heinrich Klaasen currently batting in the middle.
