Shreyas Iyer was in outstanding touch for India

Shreyas Iyer has been India's find of the series. The flamboyant no.3 batsman smashed his second consecutive half-century walking behind the openers and a characteristic of both innings' was his fearlessness and ability to push the opposition onto the back-foot.

Iyer didn't take too long to stamp his presence at the crease and unfurled a flurry of good looking shots. None of the bowlers were spared as he and Dhawan competed in a race amongst themselves. The duo looked indomitable and gave India a resounding start to the run chase. Iyer eventually fell to Perera on 65.
