IND vs AUS: Setback for India as Shreyas Iyer Falls quickly in World Cup 2023 final

Coming into the match with the momentum of consecutive centuries, Iyer's potential to steer India towards a formidable total was high. However, his dismissal at a crucial juncture left India grappling with uncertainty.

The Indian innings, which had commenced with a burst of energy, witnessed a significant setback with the early loss of both openers, Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma. The stage was set for Iyer to replicate his recent form and anchor the innings. However, the 11th over, bowled by Australian captain Pat Cummins, changed the course of events dramatically.

Cummins delivered a brilliant length ball in the corridor of uncertainty just outside off stump. This delivery proved to be Iyer's undoing. Compelled to play, Iyer misread the line, resulting in a fatal nick off his bat. The catch was efficiently taken by wicketkeeper Josh Inglis, bringing Iyer's brief stint to an end with a score of just 4 runs off 3 balls.


This dismissal was a significant blow to the Indian batting lineup, which had earlier seen a promising 46-run partnership between Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. With Iyer and Rohit's dismissals in quick succession, the onus has now fallen on Kohli and KL Rahul to rebuild and stabilize the innings.

At the time of writing this article, with India at 112/3. Kohli and Rahul face the massive task of steering India towards a competitive total. Kohli, batting at 37, and Rahul, at 1, have the responsibility of not only stabilizing the innings but also setting a platform for a strong finish.
