Ranji Trophy: Shreyas Iyer Finds Form with Century Against Maharashtra

Shreyas Iyer Shines with a Century in Ranji Trophy

Young batsman Shreyas Iyer, who is out of Team India, has finally got a chance. Shreyas made a splash for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy by scoring a stunning century against Maharashtra. Shreyas completed the streak with an explosive knock on the Maharashtra bowlers on the second day of the match.

Shreyas came in to bat at number five after skipper Ajinkya Rahane was dismissed. Shreyas kept Mumbai’s scoreboard moving by supporting youngster Ayush Mhatre. Both of them made a double-century partnership and took Mumbai to 300.
