Key Questions Answered
Shreyas Iyer overcame fatigue and jet lag from the Asian Games to score an unbeaten maiden T20I century of 102 runs, leading India to a dominant eight-wicket win and a 1-0 series lead.
Shai Hope blamed his team's chaotic batting and lack of runs at the backend for their total of 171, noting that they failed to put enough runs on the board to defend against India.
Ishan Kishan realized that Iyer was in exceptional touch, so he decided to act as a backseat driver by simply rotating the strike and letting Iyer play as many balls as possible.
