The presentation was captured in a dressing-room video released by the BCCI on Sunday, in which India’s training assistant Nuwan Seneviratne handed the medal to Iyer. “Tonight, the Impact Player of the Series medal goes to someone who scored his first T20I hundred. Only a few Indian players have scored hundreds in all three formats of international cricket, and he has led from the front with both bat and fielding efforts.
