Shreyas Iyer’s amazing bat was seen in the last league match for the Indian team in the ODI World Cup 2023. India, who came to bat first in this match against the Netherlands, scored 410 runs at the loss of 4 wickets in 50 overs, while Iyer played an unbeaten inning of 128 runs facing 94 balls. During this inning, Iyer also hit many beautiful shots and was also seen playing very well against small balls. This is the fourth such innings of Shreyas in this World Cup, in which he has managed to score more than 50.
Shreyas Iyer has left Sachin Tendulkar behind in terms of playing most innings of more than 50 runs as a middle-order player in a World Cup edition for India. In the 1992 World Cup, Sachin played innings of more than 50 runs three times while playing in the middle order, apart from this, Suresh Raina also played the same number of 50-plus innings while playing in the middle order in the 2015 World Cup. Iyer is now behind only Yuvraj Singh on this list, who had played innings of 50 or more runs five times in the 2011 World Cup. Apart from this, Shreyas Iyer is the first batsman of the Indian team after the 2011 World Cup to score a century while batting at number 4 in this mega event. Earlier, Yuvraj Singh had scored a century against West Indies in the 2011 World Cup while playing at number 4.
Shreyas Iyer was well supported by KL Rahul during his century against Netherlands, together they made a partnership of 208 runs for the fourth wicket in this match. This is the record for the biggest partnership for this wicket so far in the history of the World Cup. Earlier, in the 2007 World Cup, there was a partnership of 204 runs for the fourth wicket between Michael Clarke and Brad Hodge and this also came in the match against Netherlands.
