The middle order batter of the Indian Cricket Team, Shreyas Iyer, who has returned to the national side after a few months, has displayed a terrific direct-hit to run out Micheal Bracewell during the IND vs NZ 1st ODI
Shreyas Iyer returned to competitive cricket since fatal injury that he picked up against Australia during the third ODI at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG), while trying to take the catch of Alex Carey running backwards. He did not take much time in displaying his fielding abilities as he made a direct hit to dismiss Michael Bracewell via run out during the first ODI against New Zealand.
Iyer had featured in a couple of games for Mumbai in the Vijay Hazare Trophy to the lead up to the 50 over series against the Black Caps. In Vadodara, he was standing at the long-on region to the right-handed batter, Daryl Mitchell, who smashed the ball straight down the ground looked to come back for a second.
