Shashank Singh: It was a good cameo. The way Shreyas was batting, looking from the dug out was superb. I went in and Shreyas told me to go for it from ball one. He said to go for it before the last over started. Just watching the ball and hitting it. I try to get boundaries. The backing from the team and the management is vital at the number at which I go in. I try to play my shots with freedom. I think I know which shots I need to back. There are some shots which I don't. I back my strengths.
