Shreyas Iyer’s bat did not work, crisis deepens for the team
Buchi Babu Invitational Cricket Tournament 2024: The Buchi Babu Invitation Cricket Tournament 2024 has started. Although this tournament has been played before, but this time it was especially awaited. The reason for this was that the star players of the Indian team were going to play in it. Meanwhile, on the first day of the tournament, while Suryakumar Yadav managed to play a short but aggressive innings, Shreyas Iyer’s bat proved to be a flop here too. This is the reason why his team is facing crisis at this time.
Tamil Nadu batted first and scored 379 runs
On the first day of the tournament, Tamil Nadu Cricket Association captain Sai Kishore won the toss and decided to bat first. The team batted for 117.3 overs and scored 379 runs after losing all the wickets. Pradosh Ranjan Paul scored 65 runs, Indrajeet scored 62 runs, while Bhupati Vaishn Kumar played a brilliant innings of 82 runs. No batsman from the team could play a big innings, but many players contributed. After this, when the Mumbai team came out to bat, the team had a bad start. Opener Mushir Khan was out after scoring only 16 runs. However, opener Divyansh Saxena was holding on at the other end. Shreyas Iyer, who came to bat at number three, was expected to bat well, but his bat did not work here as well.
Suryakumar Yadav’s short innings
Shreyas Iyer faced only three balls and got out after scoring two runs. This deepened the crisis for the team. Suryakumar Yadav, who came to bat at number four, played a short innings of 30 runs in 38 balls. During this, he hit a six and three fours. By the end of the second day’s play, Mumbai’s team was struggling after scoring 141 runs for 8 wickets. The team is still far behind Tamil Nadu’s score and has only two wickets left.
Captain Sarfaraz Khan is yet to bat
The special thing is that even after Mumbai lost 8 wickets, captain Sarfaraz Khan has not come to bat yet. He usually bats in the middle order. There is no update yet about whether he is injured or not. It is expected that he will come to bat on the third day so that his team can be rescued from the difficult situation.
