Men’s ODI World Cup: Iyer Becomes Third Fastest Indian Batter To Score 2000 ODI Runs
South African Hashim Amla: Shreyas Iyer on Thursday became the third fastest Indian batter to complete 2000 runs in One-Day Internationals during the World Cup 2023 match against Sri Lanka at the Wankhede Stadium.
Iyer reached the milestone in his 49th innings in the format, behind Shikhar Dhawan, who is the second fastest Indian to score 2000 runs in ODIs in his 48th innings back in November 2014 against Sri Lanka in Hyderabad.
Iyer hammered a 56-ball 82 comprised of three boundaries and six maximums against Sri Lanka to reach the milestone.
