In the ongoing 5th T20I between India and Australia in Bengaluru, Shreyas Iyer's blazing half-century came to an end in a dramatic fashion. Just after reaching the milestone, Iyer faced a fiery yorker from Nathan Ellis, which proved to be the undoing of the stylish right-hander.

Watch the video here:


Ellis delivered a ripper of a yorker at a searing pace of 137.3 kph, homing in on the stumps with precision. Despite Iyer's attempt to whip the ball into the leg side, he failed to move his feet adequately, leading to the ball striking the pad before demolishing the stumps. The dismissal showcased Ellis's accuracy and Iyer's misfortune, bringing an end to what had been an impressive innings.

Prior to his dismissal, Shreyas Iyer had exhibited his batting prowess with a well-crafted fifty. In the challenging conditions of Bengaluru, he showcased composure and skill, pacing his innings neatly. One standout moment was the powerful six he launched over the cow corner, reaching his half-century in style.

While wickets tumbled at the other end, Iyer's stabilizing half-century played a crucial role in ensuring India had a respectable total on the board. 

His innings served as a testament to his ability to anchor the innings even when facing a challenging pitch and an onslaught from the opposition bowlers. Despite the unfortunate end, Shreyas Iyer's knock was a silver lining for the Indian side in a game marked by fluctuating fortunes.
