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.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the post-match ceremony, Iyer said that he wanted to stay unbeaten against Netherlands.<\/p>\n
Player of the match Shreyas Iyer, who hit 128 not out off 94 balls, said he was determined not to throw away his wicket this time.<\/p>\n
“I kind of had a deja vu. This had happened against Australia as well, and I threw my wicket but this time I wanted to come not out. I wanted to capitalise on the start.<\/p>\n
“I took pills for the cramps. I feel the recent scores helped me in this innings. The wicket was tacky and two-paced, I just wanted to capitalise on the start and I was able to do that.”<\/p>\n
He said the wicket was playing tacky, a bit two paced.<\/p>\n
On the straight six he had hit during his magnificent innings, Iyer said, “I have worked a lot of those shots, especially in the nets. I was trying to hit straight, and keep my head down. It’s about keeping the head straight and about the followthrough of the bat once I am trying to play the slog shot,”<\/p>\n
“Get into a good position, and after that, it is a follow through of the bat that ends behind my shoulder,” Iyer said.<\/p>\n
