After facing disappointment in the first ODI, India came back stronger in the second to win by 107-runs against West Indies in Vizag.
While Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul gave India the desired lead, Their dismissal along with Virat Kohli being sent back for a golden duck got Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant on the crease.
Iyer's made sure to grab every opportunity he got as he smashed four sixes and a boundary in the Rostan Chase over.
The batsman - on 48 - took a single off Keemo Paul’s delivery and not realizing, he was still one run short of a half-century, Iyer celebrated thinking he reached 50.
The Indian dressing room - starting from Virat Kohli to Deepak Chahar - all were seen laughing and they signalled “one more run” to the batsman. Iyer did reach his fifty on the next delivery that he faced.
When he came to fielding, Iyer ran Shimron Hetmyer out in the 14th over. Hetmyer played the first ball of the over through the point and it looked certain to go for a four.
However, Iyer chased down the ball and stopped it with a diving effort and threw the ball at Ravindra Jadeja, who whipped the bails off to catch Hetmyer short.
Seeing the effort put in by the young lad has got netizens talking.

4th consecutive half century for Shreyas Iyer - What a player. Indian team were searching for Middle order batsman, And I think they have finally found that option. Class player with proper technique! #INDvWI #ShreyasIyer
