Shreyas Iyer's Fashion Statement Fails to Impress as he Falls for a Duck in Duleep Trophy Match
Shreyas Iyer disappoints with a duck after donning sunglasses in the Duleep Trophy match, failing to make an impact despite his fashion statement.
India A dominated Day 2 of the match against India D as they finished at 115/1, leading by 222 runs. Pratham Singh made an unbeaten 59, while Mayank Agarwal contributed 56 before being caught and bowled by Shreyas Iyer. The match will continue on Saturday, September 14, 2024, at the Rural Development Trust Stadium at 9:30 AM. Day 2 was filled with excitement among the fans after Shreyas Iyer's unusual look at the centre stage.
Shreyas Iyer came out to bat with sunglasses and went down for a duck in his first innings during the Duleep Trophy match
In his team's inaugural Duleep Trophy encounter, India D skipper Shreyas Iyer made significant contributions with scores of 9 and 54. India D tried, but fell short, losing by four wickets against India C.
Shreyas Iyer chose to bowl first after winning the toss in their next game against India A. India D effectively dismissed Mayank Agarwal's India A for 290 runs at the Rural Development Trust Stadium in Anantapur, therefore proving this choice to be wise.
India D lost their first four wickets for only 55 runs, however, during their batting session. Arriving in after Atharva Taide's exit for 4 runs off 3 balls, Shreyas Iyer was removed without scoring and was out for a duck. His little visit at the crease, where he donned sunglasses—a look that immediately drew public notice—did not stay long as he left only seven balls.
Fans first praised his fashionable sunglasses style, but their opinions changed after he was mocked on social media after his early departure.
After being pushed back by India A, India D will want to make amends on the third day of the Duleep Trophy encounter. India D will try for a great comeback in this pivotal match, with the later leading in 222 runs. The game will start at 9:30 a.m.
