SHREYAS IYER COMES OUT TO BAT WEARING SUNGLASSES, FALLS FOR A DUCK IN DULEEP TROPHY

NEW DELHI: India D captain Shreyas Iyer scored 9 and 54 in his team's opening Duleep Trophy match but couldn’t secure a victory as India C triumphed by four wickets.

In the second match, Shreyas won the toss and opted to bowl, a decision that paid off as India D bowled out Mayank Agarwal-led India A for 290 runs at the Rural Development Trust Stadium in Anantapur.

However, things went downhill for India D when they came out to bat, losing their top four wickets for just 55 runs, including the crucial wicket of captain Shreyas, who fell for a duck.

Interestingly, Shreyas, who walked in after Atharva Taide was dismissed for 4 off 3 balls, was spotted wearing sunglasses, a look that quickly went viral online.

Unfortunately, his stay at the crease was brief, as he was dismissed for a 7-ball duck.

Fans, who initially praised his 'cool' sunglasses look, soon turned to trolling the right-hander on social media.

Pacer Khaleel Ahmed shone for India A, taking two wickets in quick succession, including the dismissals of Taide and Shreyas.
