Ponting Delighted To See Iyer Back In Indian Team Ahead Of Champions Trophy
ODI World Cup: Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting expressed his elation on Shreyas Iyer's much-awaited return to India's ODI set-up in the series opener against England in Nagpur on Thursday.
Iyer not only grabbed the opportunity with both hands but also reminded one and all of his attacking play and fearless approach. Playing in India colours after almost five months, Iyer started from where he left and slammed 59 off 36 balls studded with nine fours and two sixes. He batted at a strike rate of 163.88 to send English bowlers to cleaners as India won the match by four wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the three-ODI series.
With the Champions Trophy around the corner, Iyer is making a strong case for himself in the middle order. Iyer was a major factor in India's run to the final at the ODI World Cup on home soil in 2023, with the right-hander amassing 530 runs during the tournament.
