Fans on Twitter reacted after Indian batter Shreyas Iyer continued his fine form in the ODIs. They hailed him for his staggering knock in the first ODI against New Zealand and also expressed their disappointment, saying that when senior players will return he won’t appear in starting XI.
Shreyas Iyer smashes 80 runs in 76 balls against New Zealand in the first ODI
In what was another staggering innings in one-day internationals, Shreyas Iyer smashed 80 runs in 76 balls and helped his side post a total of over 300 runs on the board against New Zealand in the first ODI.
Asked to bat first, India had an exceptional start as Shikhar Dhawan (72) and Shubman Gill (50) played well for their 124 runs opening partnership. After that, it was Shreyas Iyer’s show as he held one end and kept ticking the scoreboard.
While wickets kept tumbling at one end, Iyer batted responsibly and made sure that he held one end and kept the run rate in check. He stitched a crucial 94-run partnership with Sanju Samson (36). But once the keeper batter was gone, he took bowlers to the cleaners and accelerated his innings.
Iyer scored 80 runs in 76 balls and his innings included 4 sixes and 4 fours. He batted with a strike rate of 105.26 and helped post a total of 306 runs on the board. Notably, the right-hander has 5 fifties and a century in his last 8 ODI innings.

Great consistency but he will be benched for sure in ODI WC
I guess#Dhawan#RohitSharma #ViratKohli #KLRahul#RishabhPant / #SanjuSamson #HardikPandya #RavindraJadeja #WashingtonSundar / #AxarPatel / #Ashwin

Ideally he should be our No.4 in #CWC23 and Pant at 5 but KL will get preference for VC quota.
AdvertisementNeed to keep players for specific formats.
KL – Tests and T20Is
Iyer – ODIs and Tests
Pant – Tests and ODIs
Sky – T20Is
Samson – T20Is and ODIsAdvertisementIt's the best way going forward. https://t.co/TLiXMI6BEL

Considering wc is in India, I think Iyer is our best bet for no 4. https://t.co/Mz8h95HGTH

Another 2 100s in next 5 Odis and he could be a good contender along with Babar for the Odi player of the year award 🤔 https://t.co/xMilxVZy2T
