Shimron Hetmyer 139(106)
38.4
Shami to Hetmyer, out Caught by Shreyas Iyer!! It had to come. They tried the short slower ball, but they weren't executing well, so Hetmyer was lining them up at will. But this is a well disguised slower bouncer, a great option on a sluggish pitch even if there's dew, the chance of a mistimed hit is always high and Hetmyer does mishit this pull shot straight to deep mid-wicket. And it's Shreyas Iyer. Takes the catch, reactionless for a moment and then wants to throw the ball away. Redeems after that dropped catch, but pause to stand and applaud Hetmyer's effort. One of the finest ODI hundreds in recent times for sure. The authority with which he dominated the bowlers was a treat to watch. And that hug from the incoming Pooran tells it all. Raises the bat to the crowd that gives him a good ovation as he walks off. That innings definitely was a statement to the RCB captain from close quarters. I mean how do you even release such a player, unless the idea is to buying him back cheaply? We'll get there later. Hetmyer c Shreyas Iyer b Shami 139(106) [4s-11 6s-7]

37.4
Shivam Dube to Hetmyer, SIX, change of bat, but no change in pattern. Shivam Dube dishes out a dolly slower ball, a nothing ball that sits up, you expect a centurion to miss on those? You got to be overly optimistic. And the slower ball wasn't disguised too, batsman could see the change of position in the hand before the release, muscled pull shot over long-on it was
