On March 25 at Ahmedabad, Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer missed his well-deserved century, which has arose several questions regarding his partner Shashank Singh not giving him the strike and smashing boundaries in the last over. However, during the innings break, Shashank talked to the presenters, where he revealed that Iyer wanted Shashank to go for shots and not care about his own century. In the innings break, Shashank spoke about his 44-run cameo and added, "Yes, it was a good cameo. But looking at Shreyas, that motivated me even more. Let me be very honest - Shreyas, from ball one, said don't worry about my hundred! Just watching the ball and reacting to it. I try and make sure I get the boundaries. When you go at that number, it's more likely that you'll not get a good hit. I know the shots I can back. I focus on my strengths rather than things which I can't do."

Shashank scored 44 runs off just 16 balls where he smashed 6 boundaries and 2 sixes. The final over saw a beast mode of Shashank Singh, where he produced a breathtaking display of power-hitting, smashing Mohammed Siraj for 23 runs. He began the assault on the very first ball of the over (19.1), cutting a short delivery over short third for four. On the second ball (19.2), he played a controlled shot wide of deep midwicket, running two. He then unleashed three consecutive boundaries—driving wide of mid-off on the third ball (19.3), slapping one past deep cover on the fourth (19.4), and clipping an inswinger to deep-backward square leg on the fifth (19.5). A wide delivery followed (19.5w), before he finished with a spectacular ramp shot over short third for yet another four (19.6). His fearless batting ensured PBKS reached a staggering 243 in 20 overs, leaving the fielding side helpless.
