“When I was being labeled as Punjab Kings’ ‘mistaken pick’, I was not even on social media; I had no idea about the trolling. My sister was way more affected by the trolling than I was. I didn’t let it affect me, because I know this is a profession where the audiences’ reactions will be extreme—the love I receive will be immense and so will the trolling. So I need to learn to manage my emotions and so far, I’ve been doing it pretty well.”

Coined as a ‘find of the season’ by Sam Curran, cricketer Shashank Singh is one of those rare cricketers whose one big dream was not cricket—believe it or not! Coming from a family of an IPS father and a mother who has a doctorate in History, Shashank played cricket but never dreamt of playing for the nation—that was his father’s dream for him! And so, since a young age, his father prepared him for this dream.

Early on in his career, Shashank Singh was on the bench in IPL matches, but he didn’t let that deter him, and today we see the love he’s received from all quarters for his performance—that’s his persistence. No matter what, Shashank Singh believed in himself, and that may be his strongest asset!

Get ready to embark on a captivating journey as we unravel the layers of Shashank's story—from his early days honing his skills to his visualisation methods before every game and from behind-the-scenes banter with the Punjab Kings team to lessons he learnt from the likes of MS Dhoni, Rahul Dravid, Steve Smith & Ben Stokes! Shashank opens up like never before in this interview.

So, whether you're a die-hard fan of Punjab Kings, a cricket afficionado craving behind-the-scenes stories, or simply someone who appreciates the triumph of the human spirit, this interview is a must-watch.
