‘Silenced all of them’: Sunil Gavaskar hails Shreyas Iyer after maiden T20I ton

NEW DELHI: Shreyas Iyer's maiden T20I century came at a crucial juncture in his captaincy, and the sublime knock has silenced questions over his batting form, according to India great Sunil Gavaskar.Iyer had crossed the 50-run mark only twice since taking over as India's T20I captain in June, but he produced a stunning response in the opening match of the five-game series against the West Indies in Lucknow on Tuesday.The right-hander smashed an unbeaten 102 off just 43 balls, including a rapid acceleration after reaching his fifty in 28 deliveries, to guide India to a dominant eight-wicket victory and a 1-0 series lead.“It was a sublime knock from Shreyas Iyer. He looked unstoppable, and no matter what lines and lengths the West Indian bowlers bowled, Iyer had an answer to everything,” Gavaskar said on JioStar.ALSO READ: First time in top 10!
