Indian team’s young player Shreyas Iyer did amazing fielding on the boundary line. Pooran decided to attack against Ravichandran Ashwin on the first ball of the fourth over. He hits a big shot towards mid-wicket. The ball was going for a six, but Shreyas Iyer, fielding there, caught the ball outside the boundary in the air and threw it inside while falling outside. West Indies were expecting 6 runs but got only two runs.
Iyer’s bat did not play
Shreyas Iyer may have done wonders in the fielding but he was a complete flop with the bat. Iyer got a chance to play in the playing XI before Deepak Hooda. He had a chance to prove himself by playing big innings but he failed. Iyer was dismissed without opening the account in 4 balls. He got a chance to bat at No. Virat Kohli plays on it. Deepak Hooda scored a century while playing against Ireland here.
Rohit-Karthik’s bat spoke
Indian captain Rohit Sharma scored the first half-century of the year in T20 cricket. India’s middle order failed completely. Rohit played an innings of 64 runs in 44 balls. Dinesh Karthik once again played the role of a finisher. He scored 41 runs in 19 balls with the help of 4 fours and 2 sixes. Arshdeep Singh, Ashwin and Ravi Bishnoi took 2-2 wickets for India in the bowling and helped India win by restricting West Indies to 122 runs.
