Shreyas Iyer man of the match performance
Earlier, it was RR captain Sanju Samson top-scored with his 70* (53) comprising of eight fours and a six but his knock wasn’t enough in the larger picture regarding the match. On the back of former captain Shreyas Iyer scoring 43 (32) under difficult batting conditions, DC scored 154/6 in their allotted quota of 20 overs.
Coming in to bat at No. 3 in the fourth over, Iyer never let the runs dry up even if boundaries were few and far between. Having got his eye in, Iyer then scored a couple of sixes off Rahul Tewatia and Tabraiz Shamsi without losing
“Just decided to see how the wicket was playing and then take it from there and look to take on the spinners later. Prithvi [Shaw] and Shikhar [Dhawan] are attacking players.
“Rishabh [Pant] and I have been playing together for the last five years. It is good fun because he takes on bowlers as soon as he comes on,” Iyer was quoted as saying by Star Sports after winning the ‘Man of the Match’ award.
