Shreyas Iyer slams 53-ball 82 on return from injury in Mumbai vs Himachal Pradesh match in Vijay Hazare Trophy

Shreyas Iyer’s return to the Vijay Hazare Trophy turned out to be a success as he scored a 53-ball 82 for Mumbai against Himachal Pradesh at the Jaipuria Vidhyalaya Ground in Jaipur on Tuesday.

Shreyas’ innings included 10 fours and three sixes. This is his first competitive match after recovering from a spleen injury he suffered during India’s tour of Australia last October

Following the dismissals of openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sarfaraz Khan, Mumbai was reduced to 55/2 in the eighth over. However, Shreyas and Musheer Khan added 82 runs off 54 balls to keep the scoreboard ticking.

After Musheer fell for a 51-ball 73, Shreyas forged a 39-ball 65-run partnership with Suryakumar Yadav to nudge Mumbai past the 200-run mark in the match which was delayed due to heavy fog in Jaipur.

Shreyas has been included in India’s ODI squad for the home series against New Zealand, with his participation subject to fitness clearance.
