India’s top order failed miserably in the second ODI between India and Bangladesh in Mirpur. Chasing Bangladesh’s target of 271 runs, Team India’s star batters started sweating as soon as they came to the crease.
Shreyas Iyer Took Responsibility.
Ibadat Hussain bowled Virat Kohli, who got down to open in the second over and sent him to the pavilion. After this, Shikhar Dhawan also scored 8 runs in the third over. Washington Sundar, who landed at number four, was dismissed for 11 and wicketkeeper KL Rahul scored 14 runs. India’s 4 wickets returned to the pavilion for just 65 runs. Team India running in crisis, now needed a good partnership. In such a situation, Shreyas Iyer took the responsibility on his shoulders and was surprised by his quick batting.

Created A Storm As Soon As It Arrived
Shreyas had started expressing his intentions as soon as he arrived. He kept himself away from pressure and clarified his senses as soon as he arrived. He opened his account in the fourth over with a four. After this, on the last ball of Nasum in the eighth over, Shreyas took two steps forward and hit a six over the long-on boundary.
It was such a sharp six that the bowler just kept watching. After this, Shreyas formed a partnership with Washington Sundar. After his dismissal, Shreyas partnered with Akshar Patel. Shreyas hit a half-century in 69 balls, hitting 4 fours and a six. This was the 14th half-century of his ODI career.
