Shreyas Iyer, the middle order batsman of the Indian team, has shown a modest performance in T20 cricket, but has consistently shown excellent performance in ODI cricket. Especially in the second ODI against Bangladesh, Shreyas Iyer, who came in as the third man after the openers lost one after another, showed his best performance at the other end even though wickets were falling on one side.
In the end he scored 82 runs off 102 balls with 6 fours and 3 sixes and lost his wicket at a crucial time. In the end, the Indian team lost by five runs.
In this case, he has performed a historic feat that no other Indian player has achieved in ODI cricket. Accordingly, he has participated in 38 ODI matches for the Indian team so far and has scored 1534 runs at an average of 49 runs.
Apart from that, he has scored two hundreds and 14 half-centuries in ODI cricket so far. This is the record he created: He has become the first Indian player to score 1500 runs in ODI cricket, surpassing KL Rahul who was the first in the record. While KL Rahul topped the list of players who scored 1500 runs for the Indian team in ODI cricket with 36 innings, Shreyas Iyer broke it with 34-innings in yesterday’s match.
Following these two, Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli have accumulated 1500 runs in 38 innings. This year alone, Shreyas Iyer has played 16 ODIs and scored 721 runs in 14 innings at an average of 60 runs. Note that this includes 6 half-cents and one cent.
