Rahul hails Iyer as Shakib rues missed chances

DHAKA: India s stand-in captain KL Rahul heaped praise on middle order batsman Shreyas Iyer after their thrilling victory in the second test against Bangladesh while home captain Shakib Al Hasan was left to rue missed opportunities. Chasing 145 for victory on a turning track, India slumped to 74-7 in Sunday s morning session, seemingly hurtling towards what would have been their first test defeat by Bangladesh. However, Iyer and Ravichandran Ashwin then forged an unbroken 71-run stand to frustrate Bangladesh and pull off a thrilling victory for the tourists. Ashwin was adjudged player of the match for his 42 not out and six-wicket haul, but Rahul singled out 28-year-old Iyer for special praise after his unbeaten 29. “The way he batted today was phenomenal. He made it look really easy,” Rahul told reporters after the nervy three-wicket victory sealed the series 2-0. Rahul, leading the side in absence of injured skipper Rohit Sharma, added: “There was a lot of pressure, there was a little bit of panic in the dressing room, but it didn t look like there was any panic when we were watching Shreyas bat.” Mehidy Hasan (5-63) and Shakib (2-50) wreaked havoc with the ball, but Iyer gave a spin masterclass to secure India s victory.
