In a highly-anticipated clash between cricketing giants India and Australia, it was the men in blue who emerged victorious in the first ODI in Mohali. The stakes were high as Australia won the toss and opted to bowl first in the second ODI, seeking an early advantage. However, as cricket often proves, the game is full of surprises, and the spotlight in this encounter shifted towards a remarkable performance by Shreyas Iyer.

Iyer, who had been under intense scrutiny for his recent poor form and an injury setback during a few matches in the Asia Cup, stepped onto the crease when the early wicket of Ruturaj Gaikwad fell, with the batter managing just 8 runs off 12 balls. Iyer partnered with the Shubman Gill to steady the ship for India.

Iyer's innings was nothing short of spectacular, and it served as a resounding response to his critics. The right-handed batsman answered all questions about his form and fitness with a blistering half-century. It was a display of sheer class and determination as Iyer reached his fifty, matching Gill's brilliance with the bat.

What stood out most about Iyer's innings was the fearless approach he adopted. The flamboyant Mumbaikar signalled his intent with a scorching maximum down the ground, showcasing his ability to take on the world's best bowlers. He had been run out in the previous game, but there were no half-measures in his performance today.

Iyer's fifty came off just 41 deliveries, highlighting his ability to control the game's tempo and anchor the innings. He even enjoyed a stroke of luck when he received a free hit, courtesy of Mitchell Johnson overstepping the previous delivery.

As of the present moment, India is at 165 runs for the loss of 1 wicket in 21.1 overs.
