Watch: Shreyas Iyer's "No Look 90 Metre Six" In 1st T20I vs Sri Lanka
Shreyas Iyer was batting almost at a run a ball till he was 12 but things changed rapidly from the moment he walked across his stumps to flick a Dasun Shanaka delivery through the vacant deep square-leg area and collect a boundary in the 17th over of the Indian innings in the first T20I against Sri Lanka in Lucknow. In the next over, Iyer hit couple of boundaries and made his intentions clear. However, it was the 19th over that really showed how destructive Iyer can be with the bat in his hand.

India are without the services of former captain Virat Kohli and wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant for the ongoing three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka.
