    "editor1": "<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/live-cricket-score\">LIVE Score<\/a><\/p><p>Since returning to Indian team from a back injury in March, plus back spasms in Asia Cup, Shreyas Iyer made a resounding statement by top-scoring with 105, his first ODI century of the year, as India posted a mammoth 399\/5 against Australia in the second ODI in Indore on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" style=\"font-weight:400\">Iyer, who was run out for three after a mix-up with Gill in the series opener in Mohali, brushed aside question marks over his form and fitness by making a sparkling 105 off 90 balls, with the help of 11 fours and three sixes. Iyer&rsquo;s timely hundred also meant India ticked off another box in its World Cup preparation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" style=\"font-weight:400\">&ldquo;I felt that I got the team in the right position. I was happy throughout the innings. My mindset was to play the ball in the V. I wasn&#39;t focusing a lot on hitting the ball hard, I wanted to time it. I was experiencing variable bounce. Thankfully we were able to take that momentum towards our side,&rdquo; said Iyer in a mid-innings chat with broadcasters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" style=\"font-weight:400\">Iyer trusted the attacking route on a flat pitch, reaching his fifty in 41 balls by smashing a stand-and-deliver six over long-off against Johnson. He got his third ODI century in 86 balls, with the roar in delight showcasing his happiness, as the crowd stood up to applaud a great knock.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" style=\"font-weight:400\">But from inside Iyer, was left occupied by cramp in his hand, caused by a very humid environment. &ldquo;My focus was on the cramps, it wasn&#39;t allowing me to hold (the bat) firmly. I was almost out caught and bowled, I realised that my top hand wasn&#39;t working. When I was reaching the boundary line, I decided I am going to try and smash every ball,&rdquo; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" style=\"font-weight:400\">Iyer and Gill put on a partnership of 200 in only 164 balls for the second wicket, as both batters made hundreds. It was followed by stand-in captain KL Rahul (52 off 38 balls), Suryakumar Yadav (72 not out off 37 balls) and Ishan Kishan (31 off 18 balls) applying finishing touches to a run-fest innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" style=\"font-weight:400\">&ldquo;Shubman and I, we played a pretty decent knock in the middle and we laid a great platform and steadied the ship for the team. The other batsmen came in and expressed themselves. I got a great start and after that I was trying to play the ball on its merit.&rdquo;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" style=\"font-weight:400\">&ldquo;Shubman took on the charge and he was dictating the terms in the middle phase and then again I took the momentum. It was like creating great rhythm between each other. It worked out for the team. Every individual stepped up to the occasion. When I went in to bat, there was variable bounce. Pretty hard to judge. I think we have a defendable total on the board,&rdquo; he concluded.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" style=\"font-weight:400\">&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
