After the first T20I at Canberra, teams reached at Sydney Cricket Ground to deliver another spectacle of T20 cricket. And the contest didn’t disappoint fans at all where India closed down the T20I series in a cracking finish. There were plenty of moments in the match that were worthy of mention.
Shreyas Iyer goes big and How!
India were in for a tough run chase as Australia posted 194 runs on the board batting first. India were under the pump when Shreyas Iyer came into bat after Virat Kohli was dismissed. India needed 35 runs from 15 deliveries when Shreyas Iyer was on strike against Adam Zampa, who was in the middle of a brilliant 18th over for Australia.
But it all changed with a single shot as Shreyas Iyer displayed his full range over mid-wicket with a magnificent six. He just got to the pitch of the delivery and struck it with his head in a perfect position. The ball went sailing over the SCG stands as it showed 111 meters on the ruler. Indian camp was absolutely over the moon in dressing room as captain Virat Kohli couldn’t believe what he had just seen.
That is huge ?
