Shreyas Iyer falls for 95 in Ranji Trophy final (X.com)
There has been constant criticism around Shreyas Iyer, with plenty of people remarking that the KKR skipper is digging his own graveyard lately. After a recent controversy over Ranji Trophy participation in Mumbai, the BCCI removed him and Ishan Kishan for allegedly prioritizing IPL over national duties.
Since then, he has had a torrid time, scoring a single-digit score in his return to Mumbai setup in the Ranji Trophy knockouts. However, on Tuesday, he made a blockbuster return during the second innings of the final between Mumbai and Vidarbha. Yet, his notorious rash shot did not allow him to notch up a well-deserved three-digit score.
Despite all the criticism, Shreyas played in his unique style of playing red-ball cricket. The 29-year-old smashed 10 fours and three sixes in a flamboyant 110-ball 95 before he attacked Aditya Thakare, only to hole out to Aman Mokhade for heartbreak.
