Can anyone tell me if I can achieve the same thing that wireshark does in tshark?
Yes.  Enable "Packet summary line" in addition to "Packet bytes".
... In the File->Print menu (as opposed to the File->Export menu).

Only if you want your output in the form of dead trees.  If you want a text file, enable both of them in the File->Export->As plain text dialog.

Huh, funny...

Several times I've had users who needed help getting Wireshark's output into a file and the only way I could help them do it was to File->Print it and send the output to a file.

But now I do see the File->Export->File->as Plain Text option. Maybe I just never dug that far down the menu before.
