Shreyas Iyer has been India's best batter in the ongoing ODI series and he once again proved his worth in the ongoing 3rd ODI between India and England from the Narendra Modi Stadium. The star batter played a blinder, but missed out on a deserving century as Adil Rashid took his prized wicket.

After the fall of Virat Kohli, who scored a gutsy fifty, Iyer came to the crease and immediately took over as he played some attacking shots and continued the momentum which Kohli and Shubman Gill had created.

In the blink of an eye, the Indian batter reached his fifty and soon, accelerated as he raced away to 78 in no time. However, Rashid, who had taken the wickets of Kohli and Gill, came back to haunt India as he dismissed Iyer with a nothing delivery. He strayed it down the leg side as Iyer misses his flick and the edge was taken by the keeper.

The batter was poised to reach his hundred, but Iyer was dejected after the wicket as he was heartbroken and regretted the shot which he played.

India aim for a big total as Gill slams century

 Captain Rohit Sharma was dismissed cheaply, but then Kohli and Gill forged a crucial partnership. While Kohli was dismissed for 52, Gill learned a trick or two from his mentor, Kohli and went a step ahead as he scored a blistering century, and was also dismissed by the wily spinner for 112.

This was Gill's 7th ODI ton as he helped India to a strong position. With Gill gone, Iyer took the charge, but then England got two quick wickets as Iyer and Hardik Pandya departed in quick successions.
