Former Indian Champions Trophy-winning player Mohammed Kaif sent praise towards Shreyas Iyer for his spectacular performance against New Zealand at Dubai. Shreyas had made his comeback to international cricket after he showcased his explosive batting in domestic cricket, scoring 79 runs in India’s final league clash.
Shreyas had come to bat when India’s innings was in a position of disaster, as they had lost three wickets of key players in quick succession. Iyer made a partnership with Axar Patel and somewhat steadied India’s innings.
Kaif, who was a part of India’s 2002 Champions Trophy squad, went on to his Twitter account and praised Shreyas for his impressive knock of 79 runs, which included 4 fours and 2 sixes.

“It’s Shreyas Iyer once again in icc event against NZ. His phenomenal run continues, high time the world starts talking about his strengths and not keep pointing to his weakness” wrote Mohammad Kaif.
Shreyas got dismissed on the 37th over, as he got caught out by Will Young. India eventually posted out 249 runs on board with the loss of 9 wickets. New Zealand team is currently playing at the time this copy is being written.
The ongoing clash between India and New Zealand is going to decide the setup for the semifinals. If India wins this match, they will face Australia in the semifinals. Otherwise, the Men in Blue will be up against South Africa.
