Men's ODI WC: I Have No Problem Against Short Ball, Says Shreyas Iyer After 56-ball 82 Against SL
ODI World Cup: Indian middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer on Thursday refuted that he had trouble negotiating the short ball and said he had no extra determination to score at Mumbai, his home ground.
Iyer, who was out for six months because of an injury he suffered earlier in the year, scored his second half-century of the 2023 ICC Men's ODI World Cup against Sri Lanka at the Wankhede Stadium, helping the team post a total of 357/8 after being asked to bat first by Sri Lanka skipper Kusal Mendis.
Iyer scored a 56-ball 82 after Shubman Gill (92) and Virat Kohli (88) had set the platform for a big score. During his knock of 82, Iyer hammered three boundaries and six maximums, employing the pull shot repeatedly.
