India vs Sri Lanka, 2nd T20I: Shreyas Iyer, Ravindra Jadeja explode as India chase down 184 to win series
Shreyas Iyer has made himself a serious contender in India’s World Cup squad. After his explosive half-century in the series opener against Sri Lanka, the middle-order batter showed exemplary skills with a very impressive, unbeaten 74 to help India successfully chase down 184 with 17 balls to spare, and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match rubber. This is India’s seventh straight series win at home. Coming in at the fall of skipper Rohit Sharma (1), who had a rare failure up the order, Shreyas (74* off 44 balls; 4x6, 6x4) took on the onus of leading India’s charge.
