Kane Williason appreciates Shreyas Iyer and Shashank Singh for their brilliant performance against the Gujarat Titans

Shashank’s Unbeaten Skills of Playing and Defending 

The New Zealand cricketer felt Iyer led from the front, challenging some of the best pacers in the match, along with a star spinner like Rashid Khan. Williamson appreciated Shashank’s shot-making ability and how well he applied it against the Titans’ bowling unit. 

The batting skills of star player Shashank Singh remarked on Williamson’s perspective. Shashank Singh had a record of scoring shots and executed them well while entering the ground, according to the JioStar expert. 

For a period, teams targeted him with short balls, but now, he is recovering brilliantly—getting deeper in his crease, de-weighting his front leg, and dominating the short-pitched deliveries.

To shift his weight forward again is the most impressive skill of Shashank, making it challenging for bowlers who try the ‘one-two’ approach—going short, then full," said Williamson while speaking in the JioStar interview.
Moreover, Shashank gave Rashid no margin for error. He highlighted one specific shot where Singh forcefully drove it over square, realizing how tough it is to execute such strokes against Rashid. 

Stepping in during the final overs with limited time to settle and immediately taking on the bowlers with confidence is truly impressive. Whether it’s Rashid Khan skipping his length slightly or Shashank slapping it back over square—that’s an admirably difficult shot against someone of Rashid’s calibre. It just shows the skills of the player,” Williamson appreciated said
