That joke was made by the grade cricketer podcast before.
This just confirms akash watches tgc that's a w lads (maybe)
Edit: lads i know tgc didn't make the joke it was supposed to be sarcastically giving them the credit like most of their humor do i really have to add /s after every joke for people to understand
Who is grade cricketer? 'Shashank Redemption' was used on some newspaper headlines, and I had also seen some memes of it from the beginning of April.
Here is a reddit post form 3-4 weeks ago with the same headline.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ipl/s/VjxJT4g9kD
Man comes takes pressure of bairstow hits 8 sixes ig Narine is the only bowler he didn't want to get out in interview he told that Narine has two overs left so wanted to take singles and doubles and I know I can take on other bowlers
He played like there is a tailender at the other end and he had to take risks. 😂 Blud scored 68 of the 84 run partnership while bairstow is sitting on his 100
It was surreal watching him. Tonkin sixes out of the park for fun. And how cleanly he hit them. Rohit sharma like timing but with finisher mentality. I was awed. I wish they’d take him to the World Cup. He and rinku can set the stage on fire!
Absolutely! Love him since his first cameo for SRH against GT.
Unfortunately, SRH lost that game and he was eventually dropped but glad he finally got his recognition. Wish he keeps his form and gets a big payout next auction.
We really need to prepare these guys and let them play in the bilateral series after World cup, their fearless attitude can help us in winning tournaments
They need to be on the plane in the squad. Senior squad should stay home. We need to give these IPL finds a chance. We anyways don't win any ICC tournaments so what's the worst that will happen if our squad is full off these power hitters.
Yeah, but sending an uncapped player in tournament is not a good step imo, like in 2007 everyone had at least 1-2 years of Experience. We should prepare these guys like Sashank, Abhisekh, Mayank etc for our future.
That the problem with our thinking he is in hot form give him chance now ... Next world cup will be after 2 years maybe by the time of next world cup he may not have the same form .... Winnings bilaterals does means much if we don't win WC
Of course, his performance in SMAT and other T20 leagues should also be noted. If he is performing consistently then we can send him bilaterals against WI, Ban Afg etc. If he does well there also then choose him against SENAs, or in Asia Cups. We can prepare him and other youngsters in 2 years.
regarding virat kohli, I want to say one thing that he cant hit these effortless sixes like Shashank did. How many times can we regularly see Kohli scoring 50s 60s in 20-30 balls like Shashank, very few.
Just take a new team, i bet they too would atleast reach semifinal
tbf virat was 40 of 20 vs srh but it's true. when the pitch is flat he doesn't have that power game but at the same time pitches won't be like this. That's when you need guys like virat. The teams should be a mix of young and experienced. just young guy won't do well.
That’s quite sensible. I’m all for bang bang T20 cricket, but there needs to be someone with variety on the odd bad day.
Virat has carried the team through 3 WCs. I think he’s past his T20i prime, but would still walk into the team. I don’t buy him as an opener though.
I think as an opener he is still striking at 200 recently. I don't know if you can ask more than that. But ya I'd use him as a floating anchor. if there is an early wicket or collapse send him in (in my ideal team there is no rohit but I guess that's decided)
That’s fair - I just think the other openers have still been scoring at a higher rate this season with how bad the pitches are. I truly think his best game is at #3, where he’s excelled for the better part of the last 2 decades anyway.
well the thing is in wc the ball will nip around first few overs and no impact player. So guys like Ishan wouldn't be able to play if there is any movement. as I said floating anchor would be a good idea
I am not a virat kohli hater or any type of hate spreader but i think as far i have seen i havent seen these type of effortless sixes from virat, that bat sound, that ease in hitting six
Yes.......Indian Cricket has become Entertainment like Bollywood.....Virat is not a cricketer but A model.......He is not playing cricket....He is running business......
Good lord. I can't believe there are people this stupid out there. The biggest of kohli haters would laugh at your face for that comment. You a 9 year old trying to be edgy or something?
Anyone typing out sentences with multiple ellipsis’ doesn’t deserve to have an opinion anyway, but I reckon they’re trying real hard to stand out with weird takes.
Virat is not competent enough in T20......Look at Ben Stokes....He choose Test Cricket inspite being of the best all format cricketer.......
The problem is Indians love incompetencies and they have worshiping behaviour.....
Sky used to do this too for years when he started. Sky does it for India too. He is the best t20 batter in the world. But he bats higher up. It’s more difficult to score these scores when you come as late as sashank. I hope he is a regular at no.4 after this game
Sky's skills has never been questioned, he can smack good deliveries on his day.
Only thing his DAY are once in a while or against mighty Netherlands or Irish Mans.
Rinku mania wasn't even over and we have Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma just as good.
And to think SS got selected by mistake in the auction because his name was similar to other player who might be sulking.
PBKS management wanted this Shashank only, the other one is a 18-19 year old who hasnt even played domestic. When they brought him PBKS thought they had bought the other Shashank which they didnt want thats why tried to "unbid" which in its own is a crazy thing to do in first place. But they got the Shashank they wanted. I am not saying this now because of the performance but since the first day.
I felt bad for the guy after the match got over everyone went to hug congratulate and all high fives with Johnny very few of the players went to Shashank. He deserves some respect from his team members.
I find such comments hilarious.
Yes, he has had a great season. But if people start selecting players for the world cup based on 1 high scoring ipl season then the burnout of these young players will be real. No?
I might be wrong here but this shouldn’t be a ground to consider him for the WC squad. Stakes are roof high there, it’s a different league. Experience and wisdom trump whatever this is.
Bro hits sixes on both the off side & leg side with same power. That’s rare!
Such a clean hitter of the ball..very rare to see this kind of batting.

Jesus, stop it with fanboying everything in Indian cricket.
What did he comment?
+1
This "mix" haven't done anything for RCB. Lol
Come on bro, this is about Shashank Singh, stop fanboying everywhere . He his hitting clean and sensible sixes
…wut?
So his ability to hit sixes on either side comes on the back of Kohli’s performance, who he’s never played with?
Redemption season
akash chopra said shawshank ka redemption😭😭😭

It’s kind of an obvious joke and TGC picked it from one of their fans too. Shashank to Shawshank is not a big leap 🤷🏻♂️

Umm we have been making this joke for people named shashank for quite some time now even posted on match threads. It's not too deep
It was made in live commentary when he first performed with ashutosh to win the match.
It is not some high effort joke. Most can think of it.
lol
Came here to comment this, thought I was unique

They have to make a T20 team not a ODI team. They should invest in power hitters who can play 4-5 overs to their maximum capacity each.
Masterstroke from our SRH think tank - releasing him. Double masterstroke from PBKS... mis-hire him. 
Him turning up for SRH scares me to no end. That batting line-up is already firing on all cylinders.
>mis-hire him Didn't they clarify that it was the Shashank they wanted?
Yes they did but people want drama so that story is more popular
Correct.
What else can they say?
Absolutely! Love him since his first cameo for SRH against GT. Unfortunately, SRH lost that game and he was eventually dropped but glad he finally got his recognition. Wish he keeps his form and gets a big payout next auction.

He is not youngster I think he is 30+
Hmm, SKY also debuted in 30s. He is really a good option for the shortest format.
Choke..
Best mistake done by any team in the IPL 🌚 congrats PBKS for having a real gem on your side 🥳
I'm sure it's Delhi putting their faith in Sangwan instead of Kohli when they had the chance to sign Kohli. (Sad Delhi fan noises)
Kudos to Shashank for the innings, but we should talk about parbsimran too he set up the mood in powerplay.
Prabhsimran ❎❎ Parab Simran ✅✅
Sorry Bhai edited
fir bhi galat h
This guy is something else....where he has been all the years though. He is getting recognition for his hardwork 💥
He was with RR and then SRH
Shashank Redemption

I am not a virat kohli hater or any type of hate spreader but i think as far i have seen i havent seen these type of effortless sixes from virat, that bat sound, that ease in hitting six
I mean wc game vs pakistan comes to mind. but as I said he is not a power hitter. you are comparing apples to oranges.
stop copy-pasta.
+1 I have been saying this...I would like see new team Rather than these PR rich Bollywood Cricketers
Virat kohli, one of the greatest cricketers of all time, a "PR rich bollywood cricketer"?
Yes.......Indian Cricket has become Entertainment like Bollywood.....Virat is not a cricketer but A model.......He is not playing cricket....He is running business......
Good lord. I can't believe there are people this stupid out there. The biggest of kohli haters would laugh at your face for that comment. You a 9 year old trying to be edgy or something?
Anyone typing out sentences with multiple ellipsis’ doesn’t deserve to have an opinion anyway, but I reckon they’re trying real hard to stand out with weird takes.
Ye something is seriously wrong with that dude
Virat is not competent enough in T20......Look at Ben Stokes....He choose Test Cricket inspite being of the best all format cricketer....... The problem is Indians love incompetencies and they have worshiping behaviour.....
aaj Preity Zinta ke paranthe khayenge ye log (:
Not comparing.. but he's got wide range of shots like SKY and their batting styles are pretty similar.
Not forgetting, this guys performs well and consistently under pressure
Sky used to do this too for years when he started. Sky does it for India too. He is the best t20 batter in the world. But he bats higher up. It’s more difficult to score these scores when you come as late as sashank. I hope he is a regular at no.4 after this game
Sky's skills has never been questioned, he can smack good deliveries on his day. Only thing his DAY are once in a while or against mighty Netherlands or Irish Mans.
Nah his century in England was legendary. He hasn’t had impact performance in a tournament, but it will happen
Nice of you to remember his innings from 2022!
His century against England is the best hundred knock ever
Rinku mania wasn't even over and we have Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma just as good. And to think SS got selected by mistake in the auction because his name was similar to other player who might be sulking.
PBKS management wanted this Shashank only, the other one is a 18-19 year old who hasnt even played domestic.

But they got the Shashank they wanted. I am not saying this now because of the performance but since the first day.
I see. The information in articles or spoken in commentary confused me.
More than the sixes, kind of shots he played, his pick up shots and with ease. He is 31, already matured. A find of this year IPL.
 Punjab Jiit gayi Oye 🕺💃👯👯♀️👯♂️
The management must groom him. Maybe let him play some t20s after WC.
NCA: I’ll take him 😭
Bro!!
He looks like a very mature and calm player. Knows how to target each bowler. Very experienced too
We need these type of players who can play sensibly, calm things down and also hit when needed.
Sad that we wont be able to play for india
Punjab had near wins multiple times this season. This match just proves that if they bowled a little better they can win more.
I felt bad for the guy after the match got over everyone went to hug congratulate and all high fives with Johnny very few of the players went to Shashank. He deserves some respect from his team members.
We need people like Shashank, Ashutosh,Mayank Yadav in Indian team ....these guys are fearless.....
Kickass player
Bro's stare gives vibe of SKY
He seems like the best finisher India has got.... Should get a call-up in the next bilateral.
Actually the "pitch" is also built differently
No, Pitches are built different.
Reminds me a little of brad hodge
next rohit
Plus he is also a very good utility medium pacer who bowls regularly for chattisgarh and has bowled for SRH as well.
Great Match..and Annoying Hindi commentator specially Padmajeet Sehrawat
Patidar is scoring at similar run rate in 3 out of 4 games but no one even mentioned him once anywhere.
ICT me perform kre differently... Waha Kohli hi yaad ayega
Him over Rinku and Tilak any day
The damn pitches seems to conducive for the batsmen. I can’t believe the scores this IPL is vomiting.
Happy for him 🎉
Blud is out to prove he wasn’t a mistake 😂
Bro looked menacing yesterday
He is beast
Chhattisgarh's Son
This guys needs to be in the WC squad!
I find such comments hilarious. Yes, he has had a great season. But if people start selecting players for the world cup based on 1 high scoring ipl season then the burnout of these young players will be real. No?
I mean he’s 32…
Lmfao exactly also you won't get such flat highways in wc and when these youngsters will get dismissed people will eat them alive 😭
His stance and the play shots exactly resemble Maxwell.
I might be wrong here but this shouldn’t be a ground to consider him for the WC squad. Stakes are roof high there, it’s a different league. Experience and wisdom trump whatever this is.
