India D’s Shreyas Iyer’s Sunglasses Look Goes Viral, But India C Triumphs in Duleep Trophy Opener
India D captain Shreyas Iyer’s unconventional sunglasses look during the Duleep Trophy match against India A has sparked a buzz on social media. However, despite his stylish appearance, Iyer’s team fell short in their pursuit of victory, losing by four wickets.
In the opening match of the tournament, Iyer scored 9 and 54, but his efforts were not enough to secure a win for India D. Opting to bowl first, India D restricted India A to 290 runs, with pacer Khaleel Ahmed claiming two quick wickets, including Iyer’s dismissal for a duck.
When India D came out to bat, they lost their top four wickets for just 55 runs, including Iyer’s crucial wicket. The India D captain, who walked in after Atharva Taide was dismissed for 4 off 3 balls, was spotted wearing sunglasses, a look that quickly went viral online.
However, Iyer’s stay at the crease was brief, as he was dismissed for a 7-ball duck. Fans, who initially praised his ‘cool’ sunglasses look, soon turned to trolling the right-hander on social media.
Despite Iyer’s disappointing performance, India D fought back and managed to post a respectable total of 240 runs. However, India C chased down the target with relative ease, thanks to a solid batting performance from their top order.
