Shreyas Iyer hits a massive six in IND vs SL match
Struggling to find his form and facing questions about his position in the playing XI, Indian cricket star Shreyas Iyer made a stunning comeback in the match against Sri Lanka at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium at ODI World Cup 2023.

Capitalizing on the solid foundation laid by Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli, Iyer delivered an electrifying performance, amassing 82 runs from just 56 deliveries. His brilliant innings featured 3 fours and an impressive tally of 6 towering sixes.

During his explosive innings, Iyer unleashed the most massive six of the ODI World Cup 2023, sending the ball soaring to a jaw-dropping distance of 106 meters with a straight hit. The awe-inspiring moment occurred in the 36th over when Kasun Rajitha delivered a good-length ball that Iyer smashed over the long-on boundary for an incredible maximum.

Prior to Iyer’s heroics, Gill and Kohli laid a strong foundation with a remarkable partnership. They combined forces to add 189 runs from 178 deliveries for the second wicket. However, both Gill and Kohli narrowly missed achieving centuries, with Gill departing at 92 and Kohli at 88. Eventually, India ended up with an imposing total of 357/8 in their allotted 50 overs.

Iyer attributed his remarkable performance to the strong start provided by Gill and Kohli. He praised their ability to accumulate singles, twos, and boundaries, highlighting the solid foundation they created.

“I think it was a pretty good wicket to bat, the ball was coming on and there was some nice bounce. I could settle for a while and then play my shots. It was magnificent to watch (on the partnership between Gill and Kohli), the way they took the singles, twos and the boundaries, they laid the platform for us. We were told that the odd ball was stopping and holding a bit, so it was a good partnership that they had and it helped us later on,” said Iyer during the innings break.
