India go 9-0 as Shreyas and Rahul smash hundreds to beat Netherlands

Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul led India's batting masterclass as the hosts completed their undefeated run into the knockouts with a hammer blow to Netherlands, who ended their World Cup with a 160-run defeat. Centurions Shreyas and Rahul organized a 208-pursue organization a 100-run stand between first-wicket pair Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill had established the groundwork for India's 410 for 4. Virat Kohli likewise passed fifty and put on 71 with Shreyas as the Netherlands bowlers - save for a brief period as Kohli slept with in - had no reply for an India batting line-up which swung the entryway off its pivots as it burst into the room and conveyed an overwhelming speech with the home group hanging off each word. It started with the eighteenth bundle of the match when Gill pursued the pitch and sent off Aryan Dutt onto the top of the stand past lengthy on. Dutt had previously yielded 16 runs from his 11 balls to that point, 12 of those in fours to Rohit, who cleared and slice to extraordinary impact. If at any time there was an illustration of the muscle India have displayed at this competition, this was all there was to it. And keeping in mind that Netherlands didn't precisely disintegrate in pursuit, batting profound into the 48th over for their 250 as India utilized nine bowlers including Kohli and Gill, they had been left with an excessive amount to do. Rohit tortured the Netherlands bowlers either side of the pitch while Gill was tremendously horrible, clearing the limit nearly voluntarily. Left-arm spinner Roelof van der Merwe entered in the 10th over to attempt to prise separated a stand between two righ-handers which at this point had expanded to 73 runs. He was the fifth bowler to attempt, every one of them to no end after 10 overs, as Rohit and Gill finished off the powerplay on 91 without misfortune with five sixes and 10 fours between them. So it was with perceptible skepticism that the group breathed out when Gill left for 51 off 32 balls, neglecting to clear Teja Nidamanuru right inside the limit rope at profound in reverse square leg. Then, having figured out how to stem the progression of runs, Netherlands cheered when Rohit selected Wesley Barresi wide of long-on to fall for 61. Kohli carved out opportunity to kick off only seven runs from the initial 18 balls he confronted yet he tracked down his cadence and wound up raising his 50 years off 53 conveyances. It was his hundred that spectators were generally intrigued by, Kohli ready to pull clear of the ODI-record 49 centuries he imparts to Sachin Tendulkar, however it wasn't to come on this event. Kohli confronted only three additional balls and added just a single run before his off stump was shaken by a van der Merwe conveyance that slipped on as the player sat back in his wrinkle endeavoring to cut. Meanwhile, Shreyas had taken India past 200 in the 29th over. He then raised his 50 years, radiantly stringing a Bas de Leede conveyance through additional cover, denoting the initial time in 50-over World Cups that the main four hitters in any group had all scored fifty. Rahul turned into the fifth when he raised a 40-ball 50 years in just the third occurrence of the main five passing the achievement in ODIs. It was the fourth-wicket pair who changed over their beginnings, Shreyas motioning as much with a hateful six off Paul van Meekeren over additional cover and when he pounded van Meekeren for one more most extreme over lengthy on, the leeway jawed demeanor on van der Merwe's face said everything. Rahul went with the same pattern two balls later, whipping the ball over profound square leg and the group situated there into a free for all. Shreyas arrived at his lady World Cup century, and fourth in ODIs, off 84 balls with a solitary and he didn't ease up, whipping three sixes off Logan van Beek in the 49th over. Rahul had rebuffed anything outside off stump with the most rich of hands yet he could be severe as well, moving into the nineties with a six over profound midwicket and raising his ton off only 62 balls - and India's 400 - with a flick over profound square leg. With 42 runs falling off the last two overs, Rahul's excusal on the penultimate ball for 102 was not really a blip, his work - and that of his kindred hitters - complete and Shreyas strolled off unbeaten on 128 from 94 balls. Rahul was back in the activity only nine balls into Netherlands' run pursue with areas of strength for a, get behind the stumps to gather Barresi's external edge as he endeavored to drive at Mohammed Siraj. However, when Colin Ackerman drove Siraj down the ground on the primary wad of the 10th over, Netherlands turned into the quickest group to arrive at 50 against an India bowling assault which has been impressive at this World Cup, coming to 62 for 1 toward the finish of the powerplay. Then, at that point, Kuldeep Yadav entered the assault, nonetheless, and struck in his second finished, catching Ackermann lbw for 35. Kuldeep looked not exactly dazzled when Max O'Dowd lobbed the ball directly to long-on just for the ball to pop through Siraj's hands and strike him in the throat. Be that as it may, Ravindra Jadeja restricted the harm - in runs in any event - when he entered the assault three balls later and bowled O'Dowd promptly as Siraj strolled to the hole flanked by group clinical staff, in spite of the fact that he later got back to activity. As though the Bengaluru swarm wasn't at that point where the party was at, Kohli started up the revelers considerably more as he sent down an uncommon three overs and trapped a wicket with his 10th conveyance, Scott Edwards pursuing a wide one down the leg side and sending an edge to Rahul. Gill got the fun together with two wicketless overs for 11 runs having just bowled seven balls in global cricket beforehand, however Jasprit Bumrah was all business when he terminated a yorker onto the foot of de Leede's off stump, leaving Netherlands 144 for 5 after 32 overs. It was Siraj who eliminated a difficult Engelbrecht, bowled for 45, and keeping in mind that Nidamanuru offered a battling 50 years containing six sixes, his was the last wicket to fall, to, as a matter of fact, Rohit who chose to risk his arm and finished the coordinate with his fifth conveyance.
