Fans on the internet went crazy after watching Shashank Singh’s explosive batting, which reminded them of Hardik Pandya.
During the IPL 2025 match between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Gujarat Titans (GT) on Tuesday, Shreyas Iyer was all set for a century. He was batting beautifully on 90 runs with three overs left, and reaching 100 seemed easy. But things took a different turn when Shashank Singh took charge and smashed 44 runs off just 16 balls.

In the last three overs, Iyer got to play only three legal deliveries and remained unbeaten on 97 runs. Shashank, on the other hand, went all out, hitting six fours and two sixes, taking PBKS to a massive total of 243/6. Despite GT’s efforts, PBKS won the match by 11 runs and secured two important points.
After the match, Iyer told Shashank, “Don’t worry about my hundred. Just hit as many runs as possible.” This boosted Shashank’s confidence, and he went on a rampage.
While Shashank’s incredible batting got him a lot of praise, it also led to comparisons with Hardik Pandya. Fans joked that Hardik is known for situations where his aggressive batting or strike farming ends up stopping his partner from reaching a milestone—just like what happened with Iyer.
The internet was full of memes and reactions, making this moment even more entertaining!
