Watch: Shreyas Iyer Stuns Virat Kohli By Hitting Humongous 101 Meter Six

While Virat Kohli never shies away from venting his frustration on teammates after their mistakes, he also never fails to praise them when they do well. And it was witnessed once again on Tuesday when India were taking on Sri Lanka in the second T20I at Indore’s Holkar Stadium.

The Men in Blue won the game by seven wickets to take an unassailable lead in the three-match series after the first game was abandoned without a ball being bowled. Virat Kohli once again won the toss and elected to bowl first.

The bowlers totally justified the decision by restricting Sri Lanka to a below par total of 142 for 9 in the allotted 20 overs on a good batting surface. The likes of Shardul Thakur (3 for 23) and Navdeep Saini (2 for 18) were the pick of the bowlers.

In reply, India chased down the total inside 18 overs and with seven wickets in hand. In-form KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan laid the foundation for the easy chase by adding 71 runs for the first wicket before the former departed for 45. Dhawan departed soon too after scoring 32 before Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer added 51 runs to all but seal the win.

Shreyas Iyer sees both sides of Virat Kohli:

Coming to Virat Kohli never shying away from criticising and praising his teammates, Shreyas Iyer experienced both the facets of his captain during the second T20I. Virat Kohli was not at all impressed when Shreyas Iyer missed an easy run-out chance while fielding.

However, when the youngster smashed a huge 101 meter six, the skipper could not help but show his admiration with a brilliant reaction. On the final ball of the 15th over, Shreyas Iyer hit India’s first six and it was a stunning one.

Wanindu Hasaranga bowled a full-length delivery to Iyer and the batsman moved slightly leg-side before getting underneath the ball to send it on the third-tier. And as Iyer was admiring his shot, Virat Kohli too did the same with a stunned look.

Here is a clip of that moment:
