Shreyas Iyer form was a source of concern heading into the encounter against the ‘Lankan Lions,’
He had only scored one half-century in the previous six outings. The hometown hero, on the other hand, demonstrated his class with a bludgeoning knock of 82 off 56 deliveries, striking three fours and six sixes. There were many doubts about Iyer’s ability to play short ball, but the 28-year-old. However, after the game, he stated that playing the short ball was not an issue for him.
“What do you mean when you say it’s a problem for me?” Have you noticed how many pull shots I’ve scored, especially the fours?” Shreyas Iyer stated this during the post-match press conference.
“You know, if you try to hit a ball, whether it’s a short ball or an overpitched ball, you’re bound to get out.” If I get bowled two or three times, you’ll all claim he can’t play an inswinging ball or a seaming ball. You guys have created the mahol [feeling] outside that he can’t play a short ball, and I feel like people are picking it up now and then, and that plays on your mind on a regular basis, and you keep working on it,” the Mumbai-based batsman continued.
