Shreyas Iyer spoke candidly and praised Shubman Gill for his outstanding performance in the 50-over format recently following India’s amazing 99-run triumph against Australia in the second ODI. In the second ODI in Indore, the opener once again smashed a brilliant century against the Kangaroos, and he and Shreyas combined for 200 runs to help India score 399 runs overall.
Shubman Gill also commended Iyer, adding that the Mumbai-born batsman shifted the momentum after he got to the crease, in a video made available by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
Shubman Gill remarked following the game, “The way he came in and took on the charge shifted the momentum for us.
Shubman Gill had a captivating appearance from the other end, Shreyas Iyer retorted. The opener scored 104 runs off of 97 pitches, bringing his total for the year to 1230. Additionally, he prayed that Gill would maintain his winning ways and continue to lead the nation in victories.
He has consistently been amazing. It’s simply amazing how he’s been turning strong starts into massive scores. From the other end, it was fascinating to watch him play those strokes. Iyer stated, “From the bottom of my heart, I hope he keeps going on this trip and keeps winning games for India.

Iyer received Player of the Match honours for his remarkable century. When it comes to Australia, they quickly lost two wickets in the form of Steven Smith and Matthew Short. Later on, David Warner made an attempt to gain some momentum by scoring a half-century, but Ravichandran Ashwin took his wicket. He took three wickets, and so did Ravindra Jadeja. In the end, Sean Abbott scored 54 runs off of 36 balls, but his efforts were in vain.
Along with Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, and Kuldeep Yadav returning for the Men in Blue, Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc are also anticipated to play again.
