‘Since no one is complementing … ‘: Shreyas Iyer’s cheeky take after breathtaking Hardik Pandya catch – WATCH
NEW DELHI: Shreyas Iyer produced a moment of genius on the field, hitting a superb flying over that left the fans at the Wankhede Stadium in awe. The effort also garnered priceless reactions from Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav, who watched it unfold near the dugout, with their reactions quickly going viral.
After Punjab Kings sealed victory against Mumbai Indians, the franchise shared a video in which Iyer was asked, “Shreyas, any words for your catch?”
Iyer replied: “Spectacular.”
He added: “Since no one is giving compliments, I will congratulate myself. »
Prabhsimran Singh and Iyer continued their fine form with the bat, scoring back-to-back half-centuries and putting together a 139-run partnership for the third wicket as Punjab Kings cruised to a seven-wicket victory with 21 balls to spare.
Earlier, Mumbai Indians were asked to bat, and Quinton de Kock, who replaced Rohit Sharma in the playing XI, smashed a brilliant unbeaten 112 off 60 balls. Naman Dhir chipped in with 50 off 31 balls as MI posted 195/6.
However, their efforts were overshadowed by the brilliance of Prabhsimran and Iyer, who guided the PBKS to victory.
The duo had also scored 50 runs in the previous match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, and they continued that form. Prabhsimran remained unbeaten on 80 off 39 balls, while Iyer hit 66 off 35 balls as PBKS chased down the target, reaching 198/3 in 16.3 overs.
With this victory, Punjab Kings moved to the top of the table with nine points, while Mumbai Indians remained on two points, with one win and four losses.
