In the match against Gujarat Titans, Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer remained unbeaten after scoring 97 runs. That is, he remained 3 runs away from his century. It was not that Shreyas Iyer did not have a chance to complete the century. The opportunity was complete. He just needed to play one or two balls. But his teammate Shashank Singh, who took the strike in the last over, did not give him that chance. The question is why? The answer to this why has been given by Shashank Singh himself after the match ended, according to whom it was not his call but the call of captain Shreyas Iyer.

Why was Shreyas Iyer not given a chance to complete the century?

Shashank Singh said that he was about to talk about this when before that Shreyas Iyer came and told me not to worry about my century. Hit every ball. Play your shot. Shashank said that I was happy to hear such words from the captain but at the same time I was surprised and that is because it is not easy to score a century in IPL. And it was a big deal for Iyer to say that after a score of 97 runs. It was a selfless approach.

Shashank made a difference in the match by thrashing Siraj in the last over.

It is said that whatever happens happens for good. Of course, Shreyas Iyer could not complete his century. The fans must have been feeling the pang in their hearts. But, the result was that in the last over which Mohammad Siraj was bowling for Gujarat Titans, Shashank Singh smashed 23 runs including 5 fours. This rapid batting of Shashank Singh made a difference in the match in the end. In simple words, the six hit by Siraj in the last over of Shashank Singh was a big contribution to the victory of the Punjab Kings.
