I planted these in end of March and they were really strong two days ago.

Suddenly they've begun to wilt and shrivel up!

Not sure of the specific cause of your problem, it does look like lack of moisture, but a couple of points about growing potatoes in containers.
That looks like a wicker container, if it isn't lined it will be losing a lot of water, and potatoes like the ground consistently well damp.
The tops of potatoes love a bit of sun, but the roots like it cool. When I am growing them in a container I always stand a bit of white board between the container and the sun to reflect the heat.

Thank you all for your kind welcome and suggestions!

I am relieved that it doesn't appear to be fungal.

I will implement your suggestions and update next week :)
