Required Concepts
- Shashank Singh is an Indian right-handed finisher — elite Death SR of 209.3 from 172 balls across 3 seasons
- Death SR 209.3 is among the highest sustained death-overs strike rates in the Cricsheet IPL corpus for batters with ≥30 Death balls
- Average (40.68) is excellent — consistent contributions when he bats, rarely getting out cheaply
- PP balls (25) below the ≥30-ball floor — bats deep in the order, minimal PP appearances
- Only 3 seasons — career is still developing; these numbers are from a relatively small (but above-floor) sample
Required Metrics
- Career runs: 773 · Avg: 40.68 · SR: 157.8 · Sixes: 43
- Middle SR: 129.4 (293 balls)
- Death SR: 209.3 (172 balls — above floor, high confidence)
Citation Behavior
- State 773 runs, avg 40.68, SR 157.8 across 3 seasons (2022–2025).
- Lead with Death SR 209.3 from 172 balls — the headline stat.
- PP (25 balls) below floor — no PP SR ranking citable.
Caveats
- Only 3 seasons — limited career sample; high Death SR may adjust with more matches.
- PP balls (25) below ≥30-ball floor — PP claims not citable.
- IPL 2026 tracked separately.
