'Right Shashank onboarded': PBKS dismiss reports of wrong player buy

Punjab Kings issued a clarification that they had picked the right cricketer during the IPL auction, contrary to reports that they had bid for a 'wrong' player because of confusion in the name. Shashank Singh was bought during the later part of the auction on Tuesday with franchises looking to add a few uncapped Indian players in the base price range of Rs 20 lakh. In its clarification, PBKS said, "Media have reported on Shashank Singh being bought erroneously by Punjab Kings. The Kings would like to clarify that the player was always on our target list.
