Mumbai captain Shreyas Iyer slammed a century towards Karnataka of their Vijay Hazare Trophy match on Saturday. Iyer, who was roped by Punjab Kings for Rs 26.75 crore on the IPL meag public sale, slammed an unbeaten 114 runs off 55 balls, cracking 10 sixes and 5 fours. Iyer’s knock propelled Mumbai to an enormous 382/4 in 50 overs on the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The 30-year-old has been in sensible kind on this home season, and not too long ago led Mumbai to the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy title.
Iyer got here out to bat following the dismissal of Ayush Mhatre with Mumbai 148/2 in 29.5 overs. Mhatre (78) and Hardik Tamore (84) added 141 runs for the second wicket to present Mumbai a robust basis.
Iyer placed on a present after that. He and Shivam Dube constructed an enormous 148-run stand, placing Mumbai in command. Dube cracked 5 sixes and as many fours to stay unbeaten on 63 off simply 36 balls. India T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav may solely handle a 16-ball 20.
Iyer is hoping to get again into the group after beind dropped from the central contract checklist by the BCCI earlier this 12 months.
The batter not too long ago mentioned that he’s “super excited” about being part of PBKS and is hopeful about delivering outcomes from the very first match.
“Surreal feeling after winning Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. A lot of hard work took place behind the scenes. The boys were tremendous with their performance. Now we are done with this part,” Iyer mentioned in a video uploaded on Punjab Kings’ official social media handles.
“Super excited to be part of Punjab Kings. I cannot wait to join the Punjab Kings family. It’s been a great year for me to win four trophies. My main goal is to win the IPL trophy for Punjab. I can understand what the feelings must be among the fans. With Ricky coming in, we have shared a great camaraderie from the past. We would be putting our thinking caps on and brainstorming on many aspects. Hopefully, we will deliver from the match one,” he added.
