Star Punjab Kings (PBKS) batter Shashank Singh’s video in which he properly predicted his team finishing in the top two go viral following their IPL 2025 match against Mumbai Indians (MI) on May 26. At Jaipur’s Sawai Mansingh Stadium, the two teams faced off.
Shashank said in a podcast on Shubhankar Mishra’s YouTube channel prior to the start of the IPL 2025 that PBKS would finish in the top two. He stated:
“Punjab Kings number one. Top two mai bol raha hu Punjab Kings one finish karega points table pe. Jis din 14th match hoga mai aapko message karunga ki sir aap please mera podcast wapas chalao (Punjab Kings number one. I am saying in top two, Punjab Kings will finish at one on the points table. The day the 14th match is over I will message you sir asking you to please play my podcast again).”

As Shashank Singh previously stated, PBKS’ victory over MI in their last league stage encounter has guaranteed them a spot in the top two. Mumbai, batting first, amassed a formidable 184/7 from their 20 overs.
Punjab, though, made light work of the chase, reaching the target in 18.3 overs and seven wickets to spare. They were then in trouble when Priyansh Arya (35 ball 62, nine four and two sixes) slammed an attacking half century in 35 balls including nine boundaries and two sixes. Josh Inglis meanwhile smashed 73 runs off 42 balls marked by nine boundaries as also three sixes.
PBKS currently leads the table following their impressive victory over MI. After 14 games, they now have 19 points and nine victories. They are only one victory away from reaching the season’s finals and will play in the Qualifier 1. They are strong candidates for the crown because of their outstanding campaign thus far.
