Indian middle-order batter, Shreyas Iyer has impressed everyone with his form and class during the ongoing season of Ranji Trophy. He is making a huge statement, after getting dropped from the Test squad of the Indian cricket team.
Iyer played a massive inning against Maharashtra, scoring 142 runs on 190 balls, including 12 fours and 4 sixes. It had been nearly three years, 38 innings, and several surgeries since Shreyas Iyer last scored a first-class century. Shreyas Iyer made his last first-class hundred back during an international encounter with the Blackcaps in Kanpur.
Following his century, he went on to score a double century against Odisha in just 201 balls, featuring 22 fours and 8 sixes. The KKR ex-skipper stunned all as he went on to pose a total score of 233 runs in his innings at a strike rate of 100+. His stunning knocks have largely instilled the hopes of making his comeback to the Indian Test team.
With Iyer being released by his former IPL franchise, Kolkata Knight Riders, he will be one of the key players entering the auction in November. As already declared several new teams are looking to have the likes of the most sought-after player in the auction.
