Shreyas Iyer<\/a>, who batted at No. 3, was outstanding until he was dismissed. In the absence of seasoned players Rohit Sharma<\/a> and Virat Kohli<\/a>, the right-handed batter, who led Kolkata Knight Riders<\/a> in the just finished IPL 2022, was found to be in fantastic form. He scored 36 runs in 27 balls, including three sixes and one deliveries, for a strike rate of 133.33. Unfortunately, Dwayne Pretorius<\/a> knocked Shreyas Iyer in the 17th over while India was 156\/3.<\/p>\n

Pretorius bowled an off-cutter that gripped the ground and turned in. Shreyas Iyer attempted a powerful slog but absolutely missed the ball, which grazed the off stump. In the middle overs, he tried his hand against the spinners.<\/p>\n

While Pretorius bowled a clean 12th over, Ishan Kishan<\/a> hammered Maharaj for 20 from the first four balls before vanishing off the last ball. Rishabh Pant avoided a diamond duck after Stubbs fumbled a run-out attempt, and the pace combo of Kasigo Rabada<\/a> and Andre Nortje kept situation under control in the 14th and 15th overs. Ruturaj Gaikwad<\/a> was dismissed for 23 runs by Wayne Parnell, ending a 57-run opening partnership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
