Both the batters reckoned on their powerful hitting abilities with Shubman Gill making a promising comeback. Virat Kohli’s half century provided a breakthrough for Bangladesh and Shreyas Iyer being the upper right hand to Kohli.Â
Shreyas on the verge of getting a serious injury
After Mohammed Siraj, India’s right-handed batsman Shreyas Iyer was exposed with the chances of a serious injury after getting hit on the right leg. This incident caught everyone’s attention at the 25th over. During delivering the ball, Shreyas Iyer was hit on his heels which went all painful for the batter. Shoriful Islam being the fielder was trying to hit the ball on the stumps at Shreyas’s end but rather the ball went to hit Shreyas’s right leg and hit his ankle with Iyer down with a little bit of pain. Had the ball hit right at the stumps, India would be down with its third wicket too with Shreyas being a goner. It was the batter’s good luck that didn’t cause him much pain even after being hit hard on the ankle.Â
