Twitter reacts to Shreyas Iyer silenting critics with second consecutive ODI half-century

08/15/2019

Shreyas Iyer just nailed it today as he raced to his second consecutive ODI half-century against West Indies. Today, however, he took it to another level with huge sixes raning in Trinidad even though Virat Kohli was scoring at a normal rate. Twitterati reacted to the same and congratulated the duo.

Masterclass!!

This is a half century of great class and composure from Shreyas Iyer. Loved the big shots but just as much, the easily taken singles. Has taken a lot of pressure off Kohli.

Exactly!!

India missed this quality batsmanship in middle order in World cup. How on earth vijay shankar was selected for number 4 ahead of batsmen like Shreyas Iyer and Mayank agarwal. Selectors missed the trick so badly there.

Where was he all these days!!

One of the best knocks Ive seen in a long time. Hope the team mgt and selectors dont make the mistake of dropping him now. He is a special talent who needs a long rope. Take note @imVkohli @RaviShastriOfc #ShreyasIyer @BCCI

So, perfect for NO.4??

#ShreyasIyer is an ideal candidate for #4. Give him enough chances and support to become a more dependable batsman. And while you are at it dump #RishabhPant from the ODI Squad till he lasts at least 20 overs in an innings. #WIvIND

A Classy player with massy shots!!

Shreyas Iyer is one of the best batsman of spin in Indian team currently. He just plays them with so much ease. He is showing what India missed this WC. @bhogleharsha your thoughts on his exclusion from WC?
