Shahrukh Khan | BCCI-IPLShahrukh Khan was part of the victorious Tamil Nadu team which won the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2020-21 and 2021-22 and was impressive enough to get an IPL deal with Punjab Kings in IPL 2021. He showed a glimpse of his talent with 153 runs at a strike rate of 134.21.

Much was expected of him, when PBKS bought him back in the IPL 2022 auction for a whopping INR 9 crores. He was a first-choice pick for PBKS initially but failed to provide the explosive finishes that he was capable of.

In all, he played 8 matches and scored 117 runs at a strike rate of 108.23, though he hit 9 sixes in his outings. In the end, PBKS opted to have Jitesh Sharma as their finisher who did a better job with 234 runs in 12 matches at a strike rate of 163.34.
