Shreyas Iyer asked me not to worry about his century, says Shashank Singh
Live MintAhmedabad, Mar 26 Punjab Kings batter Shashank Singh’s boundary-hitting spree in the final over of the Indian Premier League match against Gujarat Titans left his captain Shreyas Iyer stranded on unbeaten 97 but the latter was not worried about his personal landmark. Shashank, who hit five of his six fours in the final over off Mohammed Siraj and took a double to collect 23 runs against the India pacer, said PBKS captain Iyer didn’t ask him to rotate the strike. But after the first ball I hit, I saw the scoreboard and Shreyas was on 97,” Shashank, who scored a 16-ball 44 not out, told the media after the match on Tuesday. “But in that situation, I think no matter what planning you do, if you are able to be fully zoned in in the present moment, that is the difference and these games happen.” Sai Kishore rued that GT failed to hit more boundaries during the course of the innings.
