The Indian batter Shreyas Iyer, who is away from the Indian team, has shown his flair in the Irani Trophy 2024. Iyer also participated in the recently played Duleep Trophy. But his performance was not as good as expected. But in the Irani Trophy, Iyer performed brilliantly against the Rest of India and roared for his return to the Indian team. This inning of Iyer can make his return to Team India through the Test series against New Zealand.
Superb Innings From Shreyas Iyer
The Irani Trophy match has started on 1 October. In this match, Rest of India won the toss and decided to bowl first. Mumbai could not get a good start while batting first. The team lost 3 wickets for just 37 runs. But after this Shreyas Iyer took charge and scored a half-century to put Mumbai in a strong position. Iyer played an innings of 57 runs in 84 balls. In this innings, he hit 6 fours and 2 sixes. However, Iyer became the victim of Yash Dayal in the 39.4 over. If Iyer manages to score a big score in the second innings, then he will strengthen his claim for the 3 Test match series against New Zealand.
