Shreyas Iyer hit 3 fours and 2 sixes in his match-winning knock

There were doubts over Shreyas Iyer's selection before the match. Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar had expressed his disappointment over Rohit Sharma's decision to pick Iyer over Ishan Kishan, but Iyer proved him wrong with a half-century.

He came out to bat at number four when the team's score was 79/2 after 9.5 overs. The right-handed batter added 77 runs for the third wicket with Rohit Sharma and then had an unbeaten 36-run fourth-wicket partnership with KL Rahul to help India win.

Iyer scored 53 runs off 62 balls, whacking three fours and two sixes.
