Shreyas Iyer's Poor Ranji Trophy Form Continues, Loses Wicket Cheaply To Ex-KKR Teammate
Shreyas Iyer's dismal form in domestic cricket continued as he was dismissed after scoring just seven runs for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy final against Vidarbha on Sunday. Iyer has struggled against the short ball in the past and that was exactly the strategy that his former Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) teammate Umesh Yadav employed to end his innings. Umesh bowled four short deliveries in a row to the right-hander before an outswinger that struck Iyer's inside edge. The ball flew to Karun Nair in the first slip and the fielder made no mistake in completing the catch and piled on Iyer's misery. The India batter has not performed well in the two Ranji matches since BCCI's central contract snub.
