New Delhi. During the match against the Netherlands, the Indian team gave a mountain-like target of 411 runs. The magic of the Indian team, which is in great form, continued during this match as well. Top-5 batsmen scored runs. Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul scored centuries while Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill scored half-centuries with the bat. Shreyas Iyer played an unbeaten innings of 128 runs after facing 94 balls in the match. During this, 10 fours and five sixes came from his bat.
What happened during Shreyas Iyer’s innings in the World Cup is what Yuvraj Singh last did 12 years ago. Iyer scored a century playing at number-4 in the World Cup. Earlier UV achieved this feat for India in the 2011 World Cup. Then he scored 113 runs against West Indies. After this, during the 2015 and 2019 World Cups, no batsman could do this while playing at number 4.

Iyer solves problem number 4
During the 2019 World Cup, the number-4 batsman was becoming a big conundrum for the Indian team management. Ambati Rayudu was earlier projected for this space. Later he was not played in the tournament. Shreyas Iyer has been performing brilliantly in the Indian middle order for the past two years. To a large extent, he has solved this problem of Team India. If we talk about the current World Cup, Shreyas Iyer has scored 431 runs playing on this ground. During this time he scored a century and three half-centuries.
