Shreyas Iyer played an incredible innings at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium, Jamtha, Nagpur on Thursday, February 6, and took the England bowlers to the cleaners.
Iyer, playing his first international game in six months, came to bat at No.4 after India lost both openers - Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma - inside six overs.
Notably, as Iyer arrived on the crease England decided to use short-ball tactics to pick his wicket. A short leg was in place along with a strong leg-side field and a couple of slips stationed in the cordon.
On the next ball, Archer bowled yet another short-pitched delivery outside off-stump, and Iyer played a brilliant shot to send the ball flying away into the stands beyond the third man.

But that has to be Shreyas Iyer’s best innings - Sanjay Manjrekar
He took to his official X handle to label Iyer's innings in Nagpur as the best innings of his ODI career. Manjrekar opined that Iyer displayed flawless batting and rated him 10/10.
I know it’s just 58 for now. But that has to be Shreyas Iyer’s best innings! Because of the sheer flawless nature of stroke play, the range of shots played & the relative orthodoxy of all his shots. On quality it was 10/10. ???
