Shreyas Iyer, a batter for Team India, was dismissed in the first ODI against Bangladesh on Sunday, December 4, after once again succumbing to a short-pitched delivery. Before leaving in the 20th over off the bowling of Ebadot Hossain, Shreyas had scored 24 runs off 39 deliveries.

Despite his recent strong performance, the short ball continues to plague Shreyas in all formats and conditions, making it a constant threat. The right-handed batter, who has scored the second-most runs for Team India in ODIs this season, was expected to be crucial at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium after a top-order collapse.

Despite his recent strong performance, the short ball continues to plague Shreyas in all formats and conditions, making it a constant threat. The right-handed batter, who has scored the second-most runs for Team India in ODIs this season, was expected to be crucial at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium after a top-order collapse.

He entered the fray at position No. 4 following Rohit Sharma's dismissal in the tenth over. On a slow surface, Shreyas took his time while KL Rahul was at the other end to keep him company. Ebadot and Mustafizur Rahman kept putting Shreyas to the test.

On the final delivery of his fifth over, Ebadot, who had the height to hit the deck hard, once more pulled the trigger with a deadly short ball. The plan was successful because Shreyas was drawn into the pull shot, but he was unable to predict the bounce or time it correctly, only managing an outside edge. To send the batter back into the pavilion, Mushfiqur Rahim successfully claimed the catch behind the stumps.

In the meantime, the Men in Blue managed to score only 186 runs in the match as Shakib Al Hasan and Ebadot Hossain wreaked havoc on them. The two took a five-wicket haul and a four-wicket haul, respectively.
