He asked the reason behind the playing of the three spinners, adding: “We practiced on this surface before the match and when the spinners were bowling, it was stopping and turning. The two-wicket was the same as the wicket. , The one we played on. Three spinners, that’s our strength. “
Talking about his thought process when he came to bat with a team that was struggling 20–3, Iyer said: “I knew Rishabh was playing well, my idea was just to take the singles “He was dominating at the time and I decided. Will play ball to ball before the spinners arrive.”
He said, “It was very good for me. He bowled three overs of Adil (Rashid) and I was waiting for that one over. It was difficult for the bowlers to take off in the initial stage … We kept losing wickets, so obviously It did not happen. ‘T work for us. “
Iyer said that he is building momentum with his performance for Mumbai in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
