Statement of Shreyas Iyer After Playing 128-Run Knock Against The Netherlands In The World Cup 2023
After the amazing victory of team India by 160 runs over the Netherlands in the last league game at the ODI World Cup at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday, Shreyas Iyer said that he got a deja vu after scoring 128 runs from 94 balls. Speaking at the post-match ceremony, Iyer said that he wanted to come out against the Netherlands. He further revealed that he took pills for the cramps and also added that recent scores helped him in this inning.
Iyer said, "I got a deja vu; this happened with Australia too, but I threw my wicket away—not today though, but I wanted to come out this time. I took pills for the cramps. I feel the recent scores helped me in this inning. The wicket was tacky and two-paced; I just wanted to capitalise on the start, and I was able to do that. I have worked a lot on that straight shot; I was just trying to hit it straight. It's about keeping the head straight and about the followthrough of the bat once I am trying to play the slog shot.”
