"Can't Play Negative On This Wicket": Shreyas Iyer On 92-Run Knock On Day 1 Of India-Sri Lanka 2nd Test
His counter-attacking knock put India in the driver's seat in the second Test against Sri Lanka and Shreyas Iyer asserted that batting with a defensive mind-set does not help on difficult wickets like the M Chinnaswamy track. Iyer's combative 92 under pressure guided India to 252 after the team was struggling at 126 for five. Batting fearlessly, Iyer charged down the wicket quite often, which he said was the best strategy to negate the spin. "My plan when I went out to bat was to cut down the spin (negate turn), so I decided to step out," Iyer told media after opening day's play.
