Shreyas Iyer hits his 3rd century
Ruturaj Gaikwad was caught behind the wicket by Josh Hazlewood in the fourth over, costing India their first wicket. Shreyas Iyer got off to an aggressive start in his innings, passing Shubman Gill after only a few balls. Shubman Gill, who did an excellent job in the catch-up duty, was also motivated by Iyer's noble intentions. Shreyas Iyer scored 105 runs off of 90 balls while hitting 90 fours and three sixes. Iyer and Gill together scored 200 runs for the second wicket, helping India reach a significant total. Both of these hitters maintained the scoring rate while the Australian bowlers displayed a complete lack of understanding.

In the Asia Cup 2023, Shreyas Iyer made a comeback and participated in two league games. Following that, he complained about back spasms once more and skipped the entire event. Iyer's participation in the 2018 World Cup was also in question after he sat out the Asia Cup. He has now put all of those uncertainties to rest after hitting a century at Indore's Holkar Stadium. Iyer will compete in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 as the No. 4 hitter.
