‘Semi-Final se pehle batting practise’ – Fans react as Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul hit massive centuries against Netherlands
Star middle-order batters, KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer smashed brilliant centuries for India against the Netherlands in the ongoing last league match of their campaign in the tournament. Both the batters stitched a blistering partnership of 208 runs off just 128 balls for the fourth wicket. Meanwhile, KL Rahul also achieved the record of smashing the fastest century for India in an ODI World Cup 2023.
Apart from that, it was also the maiden century in an ODI World Cup 2023 for Shreyas Iyer. KL went back to the pavilion at the penultimate delivery of the 50th over, with an individual score of 102 runs off just 64 balls, hitting 11 fours and 4 sixes. On the other hand, Iyer went unbeaten at the individual knock of 128 runs off just 94 balls, hitting 10 fours and 5 sixes.
India register their second-highest total in ODI World Cup history
On the back of these two massive centuries following three half-centuries from the top 3, including the likes of Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Virat Kohli, India managed to post a massive total of 410 runs for the loss of just 4 wickets in the allotted 50 overs.
Bas de Leede scalped 2 wickets for the Netherlands, alongside one wicket each picked by Roelof van der Merwe and Paul van Meekeren.
It was also the second-highest total for India in an ODI World Cup match after their highest total of 413 runs for the loss of 5 wickets against Bermuda 16 years back in the ODI World Cup 2007.
The swashbuckling centuries scored by Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul have also come as good news for the men in blue ahead of their must-win and all-important knockout clash against New Zealand. Rohit Sharma’s men will lock horns with the Blackcaps in the first semi-final of the tournament at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Wednesday, November 15.
Here’s how fans reacted to the record-breaking centuries of KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer:
