SKY 2.0! Suryansh Shedge's Recent Blitz Tempts Shreyas Iyer For An IPL 2025 Breakout
By now, any regular Indian cricket fan must have heard the name Suryansh Shedge. For those who still haven’t, the future is highly likely to force you into hearing this name.
Shedge, each one of whose six first-class and seven T20 matches have come this year, is relatively new to representative cricket. However, his last two innings have hyped up his finishing skills for all the right reasons.
With Mumbai unsure of a spot in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024-25 quarter-finals, Shedge scored 30* (8) at a strike rate of 375 to assert dominance over Andhra last week. Batting at No. 6 with the team needing 32 runs in three overs and losing veteran Ajinkya Rahane on the following delivery, the right-handed batter thwacked two fours and three sixes to win the match single-handedly in the slog overs.
If Mumbai chased down a 230-run target to register the highest successful run-chase in the history of the tournament in Hyderabad, they chased down a 222-run target to register the third-highest successful SMAT run-chase in Alur today.
With his team in a bigger trouble requiring 65 runs off 29 balls upon his arrival at No. 6 on Wednesday, the 21-year-old player hit a four and four sixes at a strike rate of 300 to put together a match-winning 25-ball 67-run fifth-wicket partnership alongside all-rounder Shivam Dube. In addition to outperforming a senior player in Dube in his latest outing, Shedge outscoring the likes of Shreyas Iyer and Suryakumar Yadav in both these must-win matches speaks highly of him.
For the unversed, Shedge’s claim to fame moment lies in him scoring 326* (137) for Gundesha Education Academy (Kandivali) to record the then-fastest triple century in the history of Giles Shield at an age of 13. Having come up through the ranks in Mumbai’s age-group cricket, Shedge is a highly-rated prospect considered capable of taking the rich legacy of Mumbai forward.
Will Shreyas Iyer Include Suryansh Shedge In Punjab Kings Playing 11?
Most likely to become Punjab Kings’ 17th captain before the start of Indian Premier League 2025, Mumbai T20 captain Iyer will have the opportunity of handing Shedge with a maiden IPL cap next year. Named pacer Jaydev Unadkat’s replacement at Lucknow Super Giants during IPL 2023, Shedge hadn’t got a match before being released by the franchise.
Nicknamed Surya, Shedge’s last two innings will force both Iyer and Punjab head coach Ricky Ponting to ponder about including him into the Playing XI at some point in the first half itself.
Bought by PBKS for his base price of INR 30 lakh, Shedge is one of the four uncapped Indian all-rounders part of the franchise. That being said, the presence of five capped overseas all-rounders could make it difficult for Shedge to find a spot in the middle-order from the word go. The Impact Player rule, however, could come in Shedge’s favour next year.
With the franchise short on conventional opening options, a left-field choice could be to promote Shedge at the top of the order in order to provide him with the freedom of making the most of the field restrictions. While Kings’ team management would be thinking of fitting Shedge someway, if he manages to finish matches for them just like he's finishing for Mumbai at the moment, consider him to become a permanent member of the franchise in the years to come.
