Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India] : Following India’s 160-run victory against 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 not out against Netherlands.
The right-handed batter further revealed that he took pills for the cramps. He also added that recent scores helped him in this inning.
While concluding, he added that it was about keeping the head straight and about the followthrough of the bat once he was trying to play the slog shot.
“I got a deja vu, this happened with Australia too, but I threw my wicket away (not today though), but I wanted to come not 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 capitalize 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,” Iyer said.
