Returning from a injury that had sidelined him for half of 2023, Shreyas Iyer staged a stellar comeback at the ongoing 2023 World Cup.
Playing his first-ever ODI World Cup and after near-misses in the last two innings, he finally smashed his maiden World Cup century against Netherlands off 84 balls.
After stalwarts Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli departed with a half-century each, Iyer took charge with KL Rahul by his side.
This is Shreyas' 4th ODI century and he remained unbeaten on 128.
He has been one of the best number 4 batters in ODIs in recent times. Iyer has smashed 1288 runs at that spot in 31 ODI innings at a whopping average of over 51. That includes 3 Hundreds and 8 half centuries.
