It is said that even copying requires intelligence. Shreyas Iyer was seen using that intelligence a lot in the Buchi Babu tournament. When Mumbai's team was seen yearning for wickets in the first innings against TNCA XI, Shreyas Iyer used his intelligence and was seen adopting Sunil Narine's method and style. Although he could not bring success to Mumbai even then, his bowling action became a topic of discussion.

Shreyas Iyer imitates Sunil Narine

Team India's batsmen have now started bowling as well, this is clearly visible since Gautam Gambhir became the head coach.

But, stealing the style and temperament of another big bowler to take wickets was seen in the Buchi Babu tournament in Shreyas Iyer's bowling.

It did not seem that Iyer was bowling!

On the first day of the match against TNCA XI, Shreyas Iyer bowled an over for Mumbai. But, that over seemed less like his and more like Sunil Narine's. Because, Iyer was seen imitating Sunil Narine in it. Just like Narine keeps his hands behind, Iyer was also seen keeping them behind so that the batsman does not know which ball he is going to bowl. Iyer gave 7 runs in his only over bowled on the first day of the match.

Mumbai batsmen will have to struggle

As far as the match is concerned, the TNCA XI team, which came to bat first, has batted brilliantly in the first innings.

They are looking to move towards a big score. It remains to be seen how the Mumbai team, which has players like Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav and Sarfaraz Khan, responds to it.
