South African skipper Bevuma decided to bring on a spinner for the 9th over which according to some cricket analysts is late as the batsman left to bat are classical performers when it comes to spin. Shreyas Iyer seems to gear up and it will be advantageous for him to have a spinner at this point since he seems to be settled now.
Skipper Rishabh Pant on the other hand does not take many balls to come into form and will be waiting for his chance.
Shreyas Iyer performed well in the ninth over and has scored 14 runs in Shamsi’s over. Shreyas Iyer came out to bat in the first over itself and has successfully scored 26 runs and will be looking to score a fifty tonight.
Shreyas Iyer has got some major responsibilities after India lose quick wickets and the only top-order batsman left is Iyer himself.
Shreyas Iyer has an opportunity to put his name under the reflection of selectors to choose him for the ICC T20 World Cup as there will be a tough competition between Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, and Venkatesh Iyer.
India have scored 68 runs in 9 overs at the loss of its opening pair.
