Shreyas Iyer returned to Team India for the Delhi Test. He could not play the last Test match due to injury. Shreyas’ return was not pleasant as he was dismissed after scoring just 4 runs. He was hunted down by Nathan Lyon. However, Peter Handscomb had more hand in the wicket of Shreyas than Lyon. Handscomb took a brilliant catch of Shreyas Iyer at forward short leg.
Handscomb also got lucky. Shreyas Iyer flicked Lyon’s ball, but the ball collided with Peter Handscomb standing in front. The ball first hit Peter Handscomb’s arm, then started falling down. But, showing speed, Peter caught him in two or three attempts.
Here is the video:
Shreyas Iyer took revenge from Australia by taking a catch at leg slip. He caught Usman Khawaja at leg slip, who had scored 81 runs in the first innings. Usman played a sweep off Ravindra Jadeja in the second innings. The ball came in the middle of the bat and came out at full speed. But Shreyas Iyer came in the middle. He gave India the first success in the second innings by catching the ball very cleanly. Surely this wicket went to Ravindra Jadeja’s account, but Shreyas’s catch was so spectacular that Usman Khawaja would not be able to forget it for a long time.
Here is the video of the brilliant catch taken by Shreyas Iyer to dismiss Usman Khwaja:
End of Day 2 of the 2nd Test:
Team India, batting in their 1st innings, got all-out at 262 runs, giving 1 runs lead to Australia. Australia now has a lead of 62 runs with 9 wickets in hand.
