Shreyas Iyer blasted an unbeaten 102 off 43 balls as India defeated West Indies by eight wickets yesterday in the first of their five-match Twenty20 International series.
The India captain brought up his maiden T20 century from just 42 deliveries, equalling the sixth-fastest hundred by an Indian batter in the format as the hosts raced to 172-2 in 14.4 overs to overhaul West Indies’ 171 all out in 19.1 overs.
Iyer struck six sixes and 10 fours, while Ishan Kishan finished unbeaten on 37 as the pair combined in a match-winning partnership of 137 from 67 balls for the third wicket.
