Punjab Kings (PBK) captain Shreyas Iyer The Indian Premier League (IPL) could not complete its century against Gujarat Titans (GT) in the fifth game of 2025. This was due to a brilliant cameo by Shashank Singh, who scored 22 runs in the final over against Mohammad Sirj. The batsman scored 44 runs off 16 balls, including 16 balls and two sixes.
This was a great batting attempt from the team, as he scored 243 runs in the first innings. GT captain Shubman Gill won the toss and selected for the first field. PBKS lost Prabhasimran Singh quickly, but Priyash Arya and Shreyas Iyer continued the game. While debut Priyash Arya also hit 47 off 23 balls.
Iyer was at the end of the non-strayer when Shashank pulled the four borders against Siraj in the last over. Captain Iyer hit the five borders and nine sixes in the game, so far a responsible knocking knock. He was very good against the spinners, but also did not leave pacers.
Marcus Stoinis got a good start in his innings, but could not turn his innings into some big. For GT, R. Sai Kishore claimed three wickets and scored 30 runs in four overs. He got two consecutive wickets from Azmatullah Omrajai and Glenn Maxwell.

Shashank Singh credited to inspire Shreyas Iyer
PBKS Middle-Serial Batter Shashank Singh was only incredible with the bat. After coming to the bat in the 16th over, he made a brilliant knock. After the innings, he credited Shreyas Iyer for playing a wonderful knock, which inspired the batsman to move to the end of the bowlers.
,Yes, it was a good cameo. But looking at Shres, which inspired me even more. Let me be very honest – Shreyas with a ball said don't worry about my hundred! Just watch the ball and react to it. I try and make sure I get limitations. When you go to that number, it is more likely that you will not get a good hit, “Shashank Singh said after the innings.
