Mumbai's Shreyas Iyer displayed his hard-hitting skills to justify the view of some pundits who feel he deserves a place in India's Twenty20 squad. While batting in the second innings against Tamil Nadu on Day Three of the Group 'C' Ranji Trophy encounter at Mumbai Cricket Association's Bandra Kurla Complex ground yesterday, Iyer hit India's ace off-spinner R Ashwin twice over the long-on fence during his unbeaten 56 off 58 balls. In response to TN's first innings score of 450, Mumbai were 85 for one at stumps.
