India A spinner Shams Mulani dismissed India D captain Shreyas Iyer on Day 4 of their ongoing 2024 Duleep Trophy match on Sunday, September 15. The game is being played at the Rural Development Trust Stadium in Anantapur. The dismissal occurred on the last ball of the 47th over.
Mulani bowled a short, round-the-wicket delivery, and Iyer attempted to play it through square leg. However, the ball stayed low, passing the inside edge and sneaking through his legs to hit the stumps. Iyer scored 41 off 55 balls, including eight boundaries. His dismissal left India D at 158/4 after 47 overs.
