A lot of people in similar situations would have lost confidence, buckled under pressure, or become demotivated… but not Shashank! He is not like a lot of people. He is truly special. Not just because of his skill as a player, but because of his positive attitude & incredible spirit. He took all the comments, jokes, and brickbats so sportingly & never became a victim,” Preity G Zinta said in a lengthy post on X.
