Shashank Singh no doubt shares a great camaraderie with Shreyas Iyer, who happens to be his captain in the Punjab Kings. During the post-match customary handshakes after the second qualifier against Mumbai, Shreyas was spotted verbally abusing Shashank, to which the latter did not respond there. Shreyas' reaction was an aftermath of Shashank getting casually run out. For that, Shreyas was trolled by some and some justified his reaction. Shashank, too, in a recent interview, supported Iyer's frustration, adding that Iyer should have slapped him. Speaking to the Indian Express on Shreyas' "do-not-show-your-face" reaction, Shashank said that his father was even agonized by his carelessness. Shashank said, "I deserve it, Iyer should have slapped me, my father didn’t speak to me till the finals. I was casual, I was walking on the beach not even in the garden. It was a crucial time, Shreyas was clear that I didn’t expect this from you but later he took me out for dinner."

Apart from downplaying Iyer's tag of being an "attitude boy," Shashank said that anyone can approach him. Rather, Shreyas welcomes advice from players and picks whatever suits him. Shashank said, "Whatever I have spoken to others and seen, there is no better captain than him in current times in world cricket. He gives us freedom, he treats everyone equally. No one will say, Shreyas has an attitude." He added, "The youngsters in the dressing room find him to be a chill banda. Shreyas is the only captain, who has told us that if anyone has any suggestion during the game, he can come and convey it to him. If he feels it’s the right advice, he will take it. It’s rare." Speaking of the final match defeat, Shashan revealed his calculations. But at the end he failed to execute it. He said, “I had done my calculation of the last two overs, Bhuvi likes to bowl yorkers so I had planned to get atleast 16-17 runs from him. My calculation was that in the last over our target should be 24 runs in 6 balls. I got only 13 from Bhuvi’s over, though, so the final over runs needed was 30." But the calculations didn't work that night. Despite a valiant effort from Shashank Singh, he ran a ball short, with his team getting defeated by just 6 runs. He ended this year without a trophy, but with his head held high. While his captain scored 604 runs, he himself scored 341 runs over a strike of 150, down the order.
