Win Projections to be updated soon
On Wednesday Shreyas Iyer hit his maiden ODI century and Twitter went crazy. He stabilized the Indian innings and scored his hundred off just 101 balls in Hamilton. No wonder, he started trending on social media in no time as fans started share opinions.
Iyer hits maiden ODI ton
Shreyas Iyer has taken 16 ODIs to record his first 50-over hundred while his previous best was 88 which he got against Sri Lanka in 2017. Iyer walked in to join captain Kohli when the team was in a bit problem in the 9th over of the innings with 54/2 on board. He anchored the innings and got involved in a 100-plus stand with Virat Kohli for the third wicket. In the process, he registered his first ODI century in 101 balls that included 11 fours and one maximum to reach his hundred in the 43rd over.
Captain Virat Kohli along with the rest of the dressing room started applauding the middle-order youngster just after his brilliant knock. Although Iyer was dropped thrice on 8,12 and 83 but he proved his class throughout. Indians are playing the series without Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma which made them bring their new opening duo for the series-Mayank Agarwal and Prithvi Shaw.
Twitter reacts
Twitter started to celebrate Iyer as soon as he reached the feat. People started talking about how effective Iyer is as the No. 4 batsman for India in ODI. Harsha Bhogle opined, “ India’s no 4 scores a century. We have waited a while to hear that! #ShreyasIyer”
