Both the cricketers are part of India's T20 squad which is competing against Bangladesh. They are currently one down with two more matches to be played. Iyer and Rahul both got a start in the first T20I but they couldn't capitalize on it. In fact, Shreyas was looking in superb touch although he was caught in extra cover trying to hit one for six. 

India and Bangladesh will be in action again on Thursday at Rajkot.
