Shreyas Iyer played a brilliant knock of 92 against Sri Lanka on Saturday in the day-night Test versus Sri Lanka in Bengaluru. Iyer came out to bat when India were in a difficult spot as the likes of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli had already departed.
In recent times, Iyer had been in sensational form, as he won the 'Man of the Series' in the T20I series against India's neighbours.
The youngster continued his good run with the bat and scored 92 runs in 98 balls, including 10 boundaries and four huge sixes. While the track at M Chinnaswamy Stadium favoured the bowlers, offering them plenty of turn, which troubled the Indian batsmen a lot, Iyer was able to bring his A-game against Sri Lanka's spinners.
