WI vs IND | I love batting in tough situations, says Shreyas Iyer
Youngster Shreyas Iyer has revealed that tough situations don't scare him and that's the reason why he fares well under pressure. Indian captain Virat Kohli praised him for performing well under pressure in the recently concluded ODI series against the West Indies which India won by 2-0.
While the Indian skipper was all praise for Shreyas Iyer, who came good against the Windies, the 24-year-old said that he loved batting in tough situations when the dressing room is "nervous".
The Delhi Capitals skipper played a significant role in India's 2-0 victory as he provided constructive support to Kohli in his back-to-back centuries. Kohli and Iyer shared a couple of brilliant partnerships of 125 and 120 in the second and third ODIs, respectively, under challenging situations.
"I am very happy. I want to come out to bat in this kind of tough situation when everybody in the dressing room is nervous. I love it because the (complexion of the) match can change and anything can happen," Iyer told Yuzvendra Chahal in an interview after the third ODI on Wednesday.
At the post-match press conference, an ecstatic and content Kohli said Iyer could be a "regular feature in the middle order" if he continues taking responsibility like he did during this three-match ODI series, that concluded on Wednesday.
"He (Iyer) was not intimidated at all, he was very confident, very sure of his game. At no stage, he looked like getting out. He has suddenly presented a role for himself, playing according to the situation. Hopefully, he keeps performing like this for the team...He can be a strong contender and a regular feature in the middle order," Kohli said.
