He grabbed eyeballs when he scored 61 not out in just 29 balls against Gujarat Titans and helped the team end up on the winning side.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Speaking about the same, Shashank said, \u201cI did not know that Google releases a list of people who are searched across the world. It\u2019s a big thing, honestly. I prefer celebrating in solace. But deep inside, it feels good that people across India and the world are searching for my name and knowing what I do.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He credited his time with Punjab for the same. \u201cIt has been possible because of the Punjab Kings. There are so many cricketers who are talented and playing at the top level but the Punjab Kings have always shown trust in me and have backed me. It\u2019s true that I worked hard as well.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Shashank, who was retained by the franchise this season, will also be meeting his DY Patil T20 Cup teammates Shreyas Iyer and Suryansh Shedge at Punjab Kings and expressed his excitement about sharing the dressing room with them once again.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI am excited to meet Shreyas because I have played cricket with him at the junior level. We played together in the DY Patil T20 Cup and we share a good bond. I am very excited to play under his captaincy this season. I am also excited to reunite with Suryansh, who is also from the same DY Patil team. He is a very bright prospect for both Punjab Kings and the country,\u201d said Shashank.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Shashank also expressed gratitude to the franchise for the support and the trust vested in him by them. He further expressed the desire and enthusiasm to continue to perform well this season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI am extremely lucky that I was a part of this franchise last year and was retained. I personally feel great about the innings against Gujarat Titans and Kolkata Knight Riders, respectively. It was a special feeling that the team finished on the winning side and I was the one who was standing there,\u201d the 33-year-old said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe support the management gave me last year is something that is very close to my heart. Now I could say that I am emotionally attached to the franchise. I\u2019ll make sure that I do all the right things that I did last year to retain this trust.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
