Iyer has also been part of the Indian team for some time. He opened the account by drawing a six from the Gaza ball and hit the Gaza ball again. This time he threw the ball at Iyer, which went straight for the bottom of the head and the top of the neck, after which Iyer fell to the ground groaning in pain. An ambulance was immediately called to the middle of the field and a stretcher was also brought out, but Iyer, 27, decided to walk out of the field. Iyer hit again but was only able to score 14 runs. Ashok Maneria was later designated to play the field in place of Iyer.

West zone in strong position

We tell you that in the semi-finals of the Duleep Trophy, Western Zone has completely squeezed the match in its clutches. He took a 259-run lead over Zona Central on the second day of the match. The team’s opening batsman, Prithvi Shaw, was instrumental in getting the West Zone to this position. Shaw continued his stellar form with his 104 off 96 balls, which included 11 fours and three sixes.

West Zone had scored 130 runs for the loss of three second-inning wickets at the stumps. Prithvi Shaw exposed the midfield attack after scoring a quarter-final century against a weak North East. After this, Shaw increased the speed of the run hitting the shot according to his mind. Despite this West Zone lost three wickets in very short intervals which included Yashasvi Jaiswal and Captain Ajinkya Rahane’s wickets.
