Shreyas Iyer’s team, the Sobo Mumbai Falcons, was on a mission to reach the finals in the Mumbai T20 League. They were up against the Namo Bandra Blasters in the semifinals, and the Falcons needed 131 runs to win. Iyer, batting at number four, got out for just one run. Sagar Chhabria from the Blasters then celebrated aggressively after taking Iyer’s wicket.
But here’s the fascinating part – Iyer’s reaction to getting out. In the eighth over, he tried to hit a big shot off Sagar’s ball, but it didn’t go far and he got caught out. Sagar then started celebrating wildly, running around the field. Iyer, on the other hand, just smiled and walked away. His calm demeanor won over everyone.
The Match
The Blasters were bowled out for just 130 runs. Akash Parkar and Siddharth Raut from the Falcons took three and two wickets, respectively. The Falcons then chased down the target in just 14.4 overs, winning the match by five wickets. Iyer’s team was led by opener Ishan Mulchandani, who scored 52 runs off 34 balls, including three sixes and two fours. He was named the player of the match.
Other notable performers for the Falcons included Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who scored 27 runs off 14 balls, and Akash Parkar, who scored 32 runs off 20 balls. The Falcons’ win was a testament to their teamwork and determination.
