Despite Rohit Sharma’s absence, India witnessed a fiery start once again as on Sunday during the fifth T20I against West Indies, taking place at Lauderhill, Florida. After stand-in captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and opted to bat, they raced to 135/3 in 14.3 overs before lightning forced them to stop the play.

Shreyas Iyer opened the innings for Indi and he played a brilliant knock of 64 off 40 balls before Jason Holder dismissed him in the 13th over. At No. 3, Deepak Hooda was superb as well, scoring 38 off 25 balls after Ishan Kishan departed cheaply. In the meantime, a funny incident happened during the 12th over, bowled by Hayden Walsh.

The second ball was full on off stump, and Shreyas Iyer attempted a reverse sweep on it. However, he failed to connect the ball at all before he lost his balance and rolled over. All West Indian cricketers, as well as Shreyas, had some laughs after that for not getting any part of his bat to hit that.
