There’s a distinct fluidity and verve to Shreyas Iyer’s batting that can sometimes circumvent a difficult pitch.
In Wellington, six balls into his innings, Iyer did one of those things: all wrists, barely a shift of the feet, a fierce swing of the bat to carve the ball over cover for six.
It came against Jacob Duffy, on a high after prising out Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli with nagging seam.
