Punjab Kings (PBKS) finisher Shashank Singh has opened up about the viral incident where Shreyas Iyer was spotted scolding him after their win over Mumbai Indians in the Qualifier 2 match in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025).

What had happened was during the PBKS’ chase, Shashank fell prey to a run out and had to depart cheaply for two runs. While at first it looked like he had made it safely to the non-striker’s end, replays later confirmed he was jogging and did not dive and was just short of the crease. This did not go down well with Iyer, who was seen telling Shashank off.

Now, Shashank has owned up to his mistake and believes that Shreyas’ reaction was justified.
