Day 2 of the Duleep Trophy Round 2 encounter between India A and India D saw a lot of action on the pitch for star Indian batter Shreyas Iyer. It’s also worth noting that earlier in his batting shift, Iyer was also out for duck.
Iyer was brought on to bowl in the second innings, and his one and only delivery of the day went viral. India’s wicket was taken by the captain of India D. Mayank Agarwal was the captain and he was batting with 56 runs.
