Hardik Pandya continued his sensational form in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, playing a match-winning knock for Baroda in a dramatic finish against Tamil Nadu.

Shreyas Iyer’s Magnificent Knock

At the same time, it was a day that reinforced why Shreyas Iyer is worth every bit of his INR 26.75 crore which he fetched in the recently concluded IPL auction. After the auctions, Iyer took this red-hot form into the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, where he rapidly scored 71 runs off 39 balls as Mumbai chases 172 against Maharashtra. His innings included eight fours and three sixes. Ajinkya Rahane also batted well, making 52 off 34 balls as the two added 110 runs for the third wicket to steer Mumbai home in just 17.1 overs to a five-wicket victory. This was a comprehensive team effort, but Iyer’s fiery knock had set the tone for the successful chase by Mumbai.
