India vs Australia: Shreyas Iyer Settles Middle-Order Debate Ahead Of Cricket World Cup 2023 With Timely Century

India might be treating the ongoing ODIs against Australia as a warm-up exercise before the World Cup but Shreyas Iyer had all to play for going into the three-match series.

The Asia Cup that India won marked his comeback from a back surgery after six months but a back spasm in the middle of the tournament meant he only got to bat once over the course of two weeks. Considering what he has gone through the year, especially the range of emotions in the last one month, a third ODI hundred could not have come at a better time for him. Iyer was India's designated number four before the injury pegged him back and a virtual no show in the Asia Cup meant his place in the playing eleven was far from secure.
