Team India will leave very soon for the five-match Test series against Australia. For this series, the Indian selectors have not made Shreyas Iyer a part of the team. Now the star player has given a befitting reply to the selection committee led by Ajit Agarkar with his explosive innings. The 29-year-old batsman hit a brilliant double century on the second day of the ongoing match between Mumbai and Odisha in Ranji.
Played a strong innings of 233 runs in 228 balls
Iyer had hit a century on the first day of this match. This was the 15th century of his first class career. On the second day, he started his innings with a personal score of 152 runs and played a strong innings of 233 runs in 228 balls. During this, a total of 24 fours and nine sixes came from his bat. This was also the highest score of his first class career. Iyer completed his double century in 201 balls. Century in second consecutive match
On the basis of Iyer’s strong innings, Mumbai has scored more than 550 runs. The right-handed batsman scored a century in the second consecutive match. Earlier, he scored 142 runs in the match played against Maharashtra. This is the first century from his bat after a gap of three years. In the year 2021, he made his debut against New Zealand and scored 105 runs. During this, 13 fours and two sixes came off his bat.
Claimed for return to Team India
This Mumbai batsman has been out of Team India for some time. He was last seen playing a Test match for India in February. Since then he has not been able to return to the team. However, he was definitely a part of the team in the ODI series against Sri Lanka in August. Iyer was not included in the team for the Australia series as well. Now he has staked a claim for return to the team with his strong performance.
