Shreyas Iyer ended his century drought in first class cricket as he notched up a brilliant hundred in the Ranji Trophy match between Mumbai and Maharashtra.

Mumbai's team witnessed two remarkable performances in the ongoing Ranji Trophy 2024 match against Maharashtra.

The century marked an end to a long drought for Shreyas Iyer, who has been excluded from India's Test set-up since India's home Test series against England in early 2024.
