New T20 captain Shreyas Iyer defeated Suryakumar Yadav's team in the Mumbai League, playing a stormy inning of 61 runs.
This decision by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) surprised many fans. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar made this decision considering Iyer's aggressive style of play in the T20 format and future plans.
Immediately after this big change, cricket lovers witnessed a thrilling match at Mumbai's iconic Wankhede Stadium. Shreyas Iyer and Suryakumar Yadav took to the field against each other in the Mumbai T20 League.
In this match, Suryakumar Yadav was leading the Triumph Knights, while Shreyas Iyer was part of the Mumbai Falcons team. Triumph Knights batted first and scored 147 for 8 in 20 overs.
Captain Suryakumar Yadav played a blistering innings of 48 runs, the highest for his team. In his 24-ball knock, he hit three fours and four magnificent sixes.
Chasing a target of 148, the Mumbai Falcons had a poor start. However, Shreyas Iyer then held one end firmly.
Iyer came in as an Impact Player and completely changed the course of the match. He played a match-winning innings of 61 runs in just 36 balls.
Thanks to his innings, the Mumbai Falcons easily achieved the target in 16.4 overs. He was also named 'Player of the Match' for this brilliant performance.
