NEW DELHI: Shreyas Iyer played a crucial role in India's triumph over England in the first ODI in Nagpur, delivering a match-winning 59 off 36 balls. However, in a surprising revelation during the post-match interview, Iyer disclosed that he was initially not part of India's playing XI for the game.
India had already been forced into a change, with star batter Virat Kohli ruled out due to a swollen right knee. Yashasvi Jaiswal, who had yet to make his ODI debut, was handed his first cap.
