NEW DELHI: Out-of-favour India batter Shreyas Iyer failed to make an impact with the bat in the Ranji Trophy semifinal match between Mumbai and Tamil Nadu on Sunday. Representing the 41-time champions Mumbai, Iyer was dismissed by Tamil Nadu pacer Sandeep Warrier for just 3 runs in their first innings.
The match, which took place at the Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy BKC in Mumbai, saw Mumbai losing their skipper Ajinkya Rahane after a brief 43-run partnership with Musheer Khan. However, Iyer could not stop the Tamil Nadu resurgence and was clean bowled by Warrier soon after his captain’s fall. Mumbai was reduced to 96/5 at that point.
