Watch: Sunrisers Hyderabad's Shashank Singh Deflates Gujarat Titans' Lockie Ferguson With 3 Sixes In Last Over

Shashank Singh had a telling impact on SunRisers Hyderabad's innings against Gujarat Titans in an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 game at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Wednesday. SRH had been reduced to 161/5 in 18 overs when Singh walked out to bat. He was playing his maiden IPL innings and Singh showed no nerves as he scored 25 off just six balls. His innings included one four and three sixes, all of which were hit against GT fast bowler Lockie Ferguson in the last over.

Singh's assault ensured that SRH reach 190-plus total against GT. This is a video of the three sixes that Singh hit against Ferguson.

It's commendable the way Shashank stepped up and took Lockie Ferguson for a toss in the last over along with Marco Jansen!"
