Shreyas Iyer smashed biggest six in ICC World Cup 2023.
Shreyas Iyer has been short of runs this World Cup.
Shreyas Iyer has set the stage on fire in the ongoing ICC World Cup 2023 clash against Sri Lanka. The batter has come out all guns blazing in match 33 of the tournament at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Shreyas Iyer came to bat after India lost Virat Kohli (88). The batter came out with a positive mindset and took the attack to the Sri Lanka bowlers. He has hit some brutal strokes and replied to all the criticism in style. The batter has been under the firing line because of his failures against short ball.
Shreyas Iyer stole the limelight when he hit a gigantic 106-meter six. It happened during the 5th ball of the 36th over when Kasun Rajitha bowled a pitched-up delivery outside off and in the slot. The batter muscled it for a big six over the bowler’s head.
Here’s the video:
Shreyas Iyer slammed a 106-meter six and surpassed Glenn Maxwell to hit the biggest six in the ICC World Cup 2023. Before hitting this six, the batter hit two big sixes in his innings early on. He raced away to 30 runs in no time and is looking in a dangerous mood.
Earlier, India lost the toss and were asked to bat first. Skipper Rohit Sharma (4) lost his wicket early. But after that, Virat Kohli (88) and Shubman Gill (92) batted magnificently well. They added 189 runs partnership for the second wicket to put the team in a dominating position.
IND vs SL: Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul’s partnership gets over as the latter gets out
Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul batted aggressively. They took the attack to the Sri Lanka bowlers and cashed on the start given by Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill. They added 60 runs for the partnership before the keeper-batter was back in the hut.
Chameera bowled a regular-length delivery that stopped on the pitch. The batter wanted to drive it but then stopped. The ball bounced a little more and KL Rahul couldn’t control the shot and handed an easy catch to the fielder. He went back for 21 runs off 19 balls.
