Shashank Singh recalls nerve-wracking IPL 2025 final over, reveals regret that still 'haunts' him
Shashank Singh. New Delhi: The Punjab Kings narrowly lost the Indian Premier League final to Royal Challengers Bangalore by six runs. Despite Shashank Singh's impressive 61 runs off 30 balls, which nearly secured victory, the Kings fell short of RCB's 190-run target. Singh remains disappointed about missing a full toss bowled by Josh Hazlewood in the final over. With Punjab needing 29 runs to win in the final over, and Shashank at the crease, Hazlewood bowled a full toss instead of the expected yorker, leaving the batsman unprepared. The first two balls yielded no runs. Despite scoring 22 runs off the next four balls, Shashank's effort proved insufficient. 'I had done my calculation of the last two overs, Bhuvi likes to bowl yorkers so I had planned to get at least 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,' Singh said in a chat with the Indian Express. 'Mentally, my mind was ready to get a first ball yorker from Hazelwood. So I had positioned myself but I never anticipated a full toss one, that too on my thigh pad. Now I feel, if I would have connected it, even if I got it on the handle of the bat, I would have got maximum, because the fine-leg was near. I was hoping for a wide from him but it never came. When I saw the scoreboard stating the last ball needed 12 runs, I knew it's all over,' he added. Overcome with emotion, Shashank wept in the dressing room despite receiving praise for his performance. The missed full toss in the final over's first ball continues to trouble him. 'I'm a strong person but I couldn't control myself when I hit that six on the fifth ball and I saw 12 runs needed off the last ball. I realised it's all over. When I came to the dressing room, everyone came and said, why am I crying? I told them, mujhe apne aap aansoon aa raha hai,' he shared. 'People appreciated my batting wherever I have gone but all are reminding me of that one full toss miss. Mujhe bahut bura laga. The ball was on my hip, square leg was up, I just had to get that bat in which I couldn't. From hotel to airport to ground to home, everyone had that one point bhaiyya woh ball mar dete bas,' he says. The batter is determined to reach and win the IPL 2026 final in Bengaluru. 'Next year we are playing the final in Bangalore for sure and we will lift the Trophy too,' he said.

He Should Have Slapped Me...: Shashank Singh Breaks Silence On Shreyas Iyers Angry Reaction After Qualifier 2 Of IPL 2025
Punjab Kings (PBKS) batter Shashank Singh has opened up on Shreyas Iyer's angry reaction after his run-out in Qualifier 2 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 against Mumbai Indians (MI) in Ahmedabad. PBKS skipper Iyer played a fantastic knock (87 not out off 41) as his team chased down the target of 204 in 19 overs against Mumbai Indians. However, Shreyas Iyer got extremely furious at Shashank Singh for his lazy running, which led to his run out at a crucial stage of the game. Recently, Shashank said that PBKS skipper should've slapped him. He also revealed that even his father didn't speak to him till the final against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), which Punjab Kings lost by six runs. "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," Shashank told the Indian Express. Shashank has also hailed Iyer's captaincy, saying that there is no better skipper than Shreyas in current times in world cricket. "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. The youngsters in the dressing room find him to be a chill bandaa. 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," he said. When it comes to his performance in the IPL 2025 final, the 33-year-old remained unbeaten on 61 off 30. However, it wasn't good enough as PBKS lost to RCB by six runs. During that innings, the right-hander missed a couple of easy full tosses, including one in the final over. "I had done my calculation of the last two overs, Bhuvi likes to bowl yorkers so I had planned to get at least 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," said Shashank. "Mentally, my mind was ready to get a first ball yorker from Hazelwood. So I had positioned myself but I never anticipated a full toss one, that too on my thigh pad. Now I feel, if I would have connected it, even if I got it on the handle of the bat, I would have got maximum, because the fine-leg was near. I was hoping for a wide from him but it never came.

'Shreyas Iyer Should've Slapped Me, I Was...': Shashank Singh Admits Runout Error
Last Updated: Punjab Kings' Shashank Singh has admitted that Shreyas Iyer 'should have slapped him' for his casual running between the wickets against Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025. Punjab Kings (PBKS)'s vice-captain Shashank Singh said on Sunday that he deserved not only to be shouted at but also a slap from skipper Shreyas Iyer for his 'casual' running between the wickets against Mumbai Indians (MI) in the second Qualifier of IPL 2025. He also revealed that Shreyas took him out to dinner afterwards. Shreyas led PBKS' stellar chase in the knockout match, scoring an unbeaten 87 off 41 to help chase a record 204 against MI. But the win became more difficult for him to achieve than it should have been when Shashank got run out for 2 in the 17th over by being lethargic off the blocks and not putting his best effort. In the post-match handshakes, Shreyas was seen hurling abuses at Shashank, which led to severe criticism of him on social media. 'I deserve it, Iyer should have slapped me, my father didn't speak to me till the finals," Shashank told The Indian Express. '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," he added. PBKS qualified for the final by beating MI but couldn't win their first title, losing to Rajat Patidar's Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the final in Ahmedabad. '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. The youngsters in the dressing room find him to be a chill bandaa. 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," Shashank said. He finished the season as the second-highest scorer for PBKS with 341 runs and a strike rate of 153. First Published:
