Cricketing fraternity hails Shreyas Iyer as he smashes his 3rd ODI century in IND vs AUS 2nd ODI

Shreyas Iyer smashed 105 runs of 90 balls in 2nd ODI against Australia.

India are in command over Australia at Holkar Stadium in Indore. Shreyas Iyer has smashed his 3rd ODI century and put up a marathon stand for the 2nd wicket to push Australia on the back foot. Shubman Gill has also smashed the sixth ODI hundred. With a massive partnership for the second wicket, team India are looking set to aim for a big total to seal the series against Australia. After a long injury break, Shreyas Iyer has looked immensely composed and batted with a lot of ease in his innings.

Shreyas Iyer’s century celebration might have been a modest one, but Indian fans are exuberant after Iyer touched his third ODI century in his career. They are thrilled to watch Shreyas Iyer bat with a lot of composure and control in his innings. Former West Indian pace bowler Ian Bishop put out a tweet full of excitement, “Shreyas Iyer enjoyed that 100, Clap.” Shreyas Iyer’s innings have given Indian fans a lot of confidence before the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. Team India needed a fit and fine Iyer for the mega event.

Shreyas Iyer hits his third century

India lost the first wicket early as Ruturaj Gaikwad was caught behind the wicket against Josh Hazlewood in the 4th over. Shreyas Iyer started aggressively in his innings and overtook Shubman Gill in just a few balls he faced. Iyer’s positive intent also inspired Shubman Gill, who played the catch-up role nicely. Shreyas Iyer played 105 runs, knocking in 90 balls with 11 fours and 3 sixes. Iyer and Gill both added 200 runs for the second wicket to guide India towards a big score. Australian bowlers looked clueless against both of these batters as they kept the scoring rate going.

Shreyas Iyer made his comeback in Asia Cup 2023 and played two league games. After that, once again, he complained about back spasms and missed the entire tournament. Iyer’s place in upcoming World Cup was also in doubt after missing out on action in Asia Cup. Now, with a century knock at Holkar Stadium in Indore, he has put all those doubts aside. Iyer will be playing as the No. 4 batter in ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.
