Indian middle order batter Shreyas Iyer's struggle against short ball is no secret. Iyer fell to a pull shot for the second successive game in the ongoing ICC World Cup.
The right-hander's attempted pull off English medium-pacer Chris Woakes ended in Mark Wood's hands at mid on in Lucknow on Sunday. Iyer managed just four from 16 balls.
The 28-year-old had perished to the pull shot against New Zealand last Sunday. He came second best to Trent Boult on that occasion with Devon Conway taking a fine catch on the boundary.

Iyer has shown a tendency to take on the short ball, but without much success. The Mumbaikar will better off spending some time in the middle before attempting the high risk shot.
