Suryansh Shedge, the 23-year-old batting allrounder for Punjab Kings, has demonstrated his readiness for the IPL after spending early weeks observing from the sidelines. He made a notable impact with a crucial 57 runs against Gujarat Titans when his team was in a precarious position at 45/4. Following this, he scored 25 runs off 17 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad, showcasing his ability to contribute under pressure. Shedge credits his growth to a shift in mindset, moving from a finisher role to preparing for various match situations. Conversations with PBKS batting coach Jatin Paranjpe have emphasized the importance of focusing on the ball, simplifying the batting process. The influence of captain Shreyas Iyer and coach Ricky Ponting has also been pivotal, with Iyer encouraging him to avoid overthinking and Ponting stressing the importance of preparation and self-belief. Surrounded by a team of young, energetic players, Shedge is eager to continue making an impact as the tournament progresses.
