Shedge walked into bat with Punjab Kings struggling at 36/4. He saw the fall of Shreyas Iyer at 47, with the visitors in danger of being bowled out for a below par score. However, Shedge, along with Marcus Stoinis resurrected the innings in style.
He upped the scoring in the 14th over, smashing Manav Suthar for three sixes to give a massive boost. He reached his half-century in just 24 balls, powering as many as 5 sixes.
Who is Suryansh Shedge?
Suryansh Shedge is a Mumbai-based all-rounder who bats right-handed and bowls medium pace, known for his finishing ability in white-ball cricket. He rose through the city’s competitive age-group system and made a mark with his power-hitting and composure in the middle order. Shedge gained wider attention for his performances in domestic T20s, where he has shown the ability to accelerate late in the innings and contribute useful overs with the ball.
He has represented Mumbai in key tournaments like the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and has also been part of franchise setups in the Indian Premier League, reflecting growing recognition of his talent. While still early in his career, his role as a lower-order hitter and utility all-rounder makes him a strong prospect for bigger opportunities if he continues to deliver consistently.
