Indian cricket team batter Shreyas Iyer slammed a brilliant double century for Mumbai during their Ranji Trophy encounter against Odisha on Thursday. Shreyas, who was not picked for the upcoming Test series in Australia, looked in tremendous form as he reached the milestone in 201 balls with the help of 22 fours and eight sixes. This was Shreyas' first first-class double century since he slammed an unbeaten 202 against Australia during the 2017-18 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Iyer was finally dismissed by Harshit Rathod after scoring 233 off 228 deliveries. This knock will also bolster his chances massively in the IPL 2025 auctions as he will be a top draw after not getting retained by Kolkata Knight Riders.
