Currently Iyer has great form
Shreyas Iyer surpasses Suryakumar Yadav to become India’s top run-scorer across all formats in 2022
Shreyas Iyer scored 82* in the first innings as the Indian team reached 278/6 in 90 overs on Day 1 of the ongoing Test match against Bangladesh.
Cheteshwar Pujara scored a crucial 90 runs as India lost four wickets for just 112 runs, establishing a record-breaking 149-run partnership for the fifth wicket.
Taijul Islam dismissed Pujara for 90 runs in the 85th over, but Iyer still scored 82 runs off 169 balls.
Iyer is currently atop India’s 2022 all-format score leaderboard and has recently been in excellent form.
After scoring 1489 runs in 38 innings across all formats in 2022, he has already surpassed Suryakumar Yadav in the rankings.
Iyer scored 724 runs in 15 ODI innings in 2022, with six scores of fifty or more and a hundred, at an average of 55.69 and a strike rate of 91.52.
Iyer, who is very close to scoring a century in the test match, has been selected for the Test lineup.
He has scored 302 runs in just six innings of 2022 international red-ball cricket at an average of 60.40, including three fifties.
The 28-year-old batsman has lost his regular spot in India’s T20I squad after not being selected for the 2022 Asia Cup or T20 World Cup.
However, in 2022, he was able to score 463 runs from 17 T20I innings at an average of 35.61 and a strike rate of 141.15.
Suryakumar Yadav
Suryakumar Yadav scored 1164 runs in 31 innings to lead India in the T20Is,
But he struggled to make an impression in the ODIs this year.
He scored just 260 runs in 12 one-day internationals in 2022,
Hitting one fifty and scoring at an average of 26.00.
Iyer is expected to finish 2022 as India’s top run-scorer overall and currently holds the lead in the leaderboard by 65 runs.
Third on the list is Virat Kohli, who has scored 122 and scored 1304 runs in 39 innings.
Rishabh Pant, a wicketkeeper and batsman, is in fourth place with 1278 runs in 41 innings and a highest score of 146.
Rohit Sharma is in fifth place with 995 runs in 40 innings and a high score of 76*.
Watch: Shreyas Iyer’s fortunate break that leaves players in parts
The main day of the principal Test among India and Bangladesh presumably saw the most extraordinary of the uncommon episode.
When Shreyas Iyer stayed in salvageable shape on the wrinkle in spite of being bowled by Ebadot Hossain’s conveyance.
You need bails to come off the groove in order to dismiss the batsman, but what happened in the 84th over of the Indian innings.
Split players, commentators, and crowds, and it was clear that everyone was in disbelief.
Iyer was caught by Ebadot Hossain’s nip-backer when it hit the stumps, but the bails didn’t come off.
So the Indian batter got lucky at the end of the day.
Cheteshwar Pujara and Iyer’s 149-run partnership for the fourth wicket at the start of the match set the stage.
For India’s remarkable comeback, which saw them finish the day at 278/6.
Iyer was unbeaten on 82, but Pujara (90) missed out on a century, keeping him on course for one.
Rishabh Gasp’s counterattacking 45-ball 46 assisted India with balancing out the innings following early blows.
The final ball of the day resulted in the dismissal of Axar Patel (14).
