PBKS were reeling at 150 for 6 after 15.3 overs in a chase of 200 runs against GT, when the debutant walked out and went on to stitch a match-winning stand of 43 runs in 22 deliveries with Shashank Singh. "I did my trials with Punjab well and was all set to leave for home. I had my flight booked for the night, but then they called me and told me to ‘stay for one more day.' I had to go for another trial. Then I thought ‘no, if they're asking me to stay, it could be something good and I will skip the trial of the other team.' I didn't go and that's why I am a part of this side," said Ashutosh.
