Young Mumbai all-rounder Suryansh Shedge is now gearing up for his IPL debut after he was picked up in the 2025 mega auction by Punjab Kings.

Shedge, who was a key factor behind Mumbai’s success in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, is keen to continue his synergy with skipper Shreyas Iyer as he prepares for his first IPL season.

The final, where Shedge scored an explosive 36 in 15 balls where he remained unbeaten and did well with the ball too where he got 1/32, resulted in him being awarded the Player of the Match.

Shedge, who has made his senior Mumbai debut this season, feels Iyer’s presence will ease his settling period at Punjab Kings.

“To be a part of the franchise, I am so excited. It’s easier with Shreyas bhaiya being the Captain as he is a face I know,” said Shedge. He is excited to be working with legendary Australian cricketer Ricky Ponting.

“Ricky Ponting is a legend. He is beyond words. He also returned to serving the game post-retirement, constantly working with the community in the game.

He knows the ins and outs because he has been involved in IPL for many years — so he knows it.

“The Aussie spirit is fearless, and that’s what he embodies. Shedge also added, “We are hopeful that we will lift the trophy under his guidance this year.

Shedge will also reunite with his former Mumbai teammate Musheer Khan at Punjab Kings, with both players having been picked for their base price of Rs 30 lakh.

When the IPL mega auction took place on the second day, Shedge was on a bus after a training session heading to the team hotel and started streaming auctions on his phone.

“I just saw Musheer Khan’s name and I knew I’m going to come up soon,” she said. So when Punjab Kings picked him, I was very happy.

I was just about to ring him, but my name popped up and I thought twice. Punjab Kings hit the paddle, and we all partied on the bus.

I got the call first from Musheer, since we both will represent a common team.

Shedge’s teammates in Mumbai congratulated him at the dining table after receiving a call from his parents and he was called ‘Punjab da Munda’ by his teammates in Mumbai.
