After an emphatic victory over Sri Lanka within the 2nd T20I, trendy Indian batter Shreyas Iyer stated that it was necessary for him to rely upon his timing and footwork because the ball was swinging and seaming on the picturesque HPCA Stadium, right here on Saturday.
Riding on explosive knocks from Shreyas Iyer (74 not out off 44), Ravindra Jadeja (45 not out off 18) and Sanju Samson (39 off 25), India thrashed Sri Lanka by seven wickets within the second T20I, to take an unassailable 2-0 lead within the three-match collection.
“It was necessary for me to time the ball as a result of it was swinging and seaming. When I confronted the primary few balls, I realised it wasn’t turning (on the spinner), so I knew I might use the ft, the ball was travelling nicely, so I might step out on the lofted photographs,” said Iyer at the post-match presentation.
Iyer also highlighted how the back and across movement at the crease is important for him while batting.
“That (back and across) is my go-to movement. I feel when I do that, the body reflexes work well and I can time my movement well,” he stated.
Lahiru Kumara (2/31) was probably the most profitable bowler for Sri Lanka within the recreation. The pacer was troubling batters together with his tempo however the Sri Lankan captain missed a trick by not asking him to bowl his full overs of quota.
Asked if Lahiru ought to have been given an additional over, Shreyas stated, “I wasn’t actually eager about that and was focussed on myself and at this time – that’s what we at all times discuss within the crew conferences.”
