Twitter reacts to Shreyas Iyer silenting critics with second consecutive ODI half-century

This is a half century of great class and composure from Shreyas Iyer. Loved the big shots but just as much, the easily taken singles. Has taken a lot of pressure off Kohli.

India missed this quality batsmanship in middle order in World cup. How on earth vijay shankar was selected for number 4 ahead of batsmen like Shreyas Iyer and Mayank agarwal. Selectors missed the trick so badly there.

One of the best knocks Ive seen in a long time. Hope the team mgt and selectors dont make the mistake of dropping him now. He is a special talent who needs a long rope. Take note

Shreyas Iyer - May be the solution of our middle order 🔥🙏

— Banna. (@iJaideep_)

is an ideal candidate for #4. Give him enough chances and support to become a more dependable batsman. And while you are at it dump from the ODI Squad till he lasts at least 20 overs in an innings.

Shreyas Iyer is one of the best batsman of spin in Indian team currently. He just plays them with so much ease. He is showing what India missed this WC. your thoughts on his exclusion from WC?

Somebody please drop Rishabh pant from the team and let Shreyas Iyer play at number 4
