## Required Concepts

- Shashank Singh is an Indian right-handed finisher — elite Death SR of 209.3 from 172 balls across 3 seasons
- Death SR 209.3 is among the highest sustained death-overs strike rates in the Cricsheet IPL corpus for batters with ≥30 Death balls
- Average (40.68) is excellent — consistent contributions when he bats, rarely getting out cheaply
- PP balls (25) below the ≥30-ball floor — bats deep in the order, minimal PP appearances
- Only 3 seasons — career is still developing; these numbers are from a relatively small (but above-floor) sample

## Required Metrics

- **Career runs**: 773 · **Avg**: 40.68 · **SR**: 157.8 · **Sixes**: 43
- **Middle SR**: 129.4 (293 balls)
- **Death SR**: **209.3** (172 balls — above floor, high confidence)

## Citation Behavior

1. State 773 runs, avg 40.68, SR 157.8 across 3 seasons (2022–2025).
2. Lead with Death SR 209.3 from 172 balls — the headline stat.
3. PP (25 balls) below floor — no PP SR ranking citable.

## Caveats

- Only 3 seasons — limited career sample; high Death SR may adjust with more matches.
- PP balls (25) below ≥30-ball floor — PP claims not citable.
- IPL 2026 tracked separately.

## Bad Answer (do not do this)

> "Shashank Singh is an average IPL batter." *(Shashank Singh's Death SR of 209.3 from 172 balls across 3 seasons is among the highest in the IPL Cricsheet historical corpus. His average of 40.68 reflects consistent contributions. He is a specialist death-overs finisher of notable quality.)*
