India batter Shreyas Iyer, who played match-winning knock in the first ODI against England, revealed that he wasn't part of the original playing XI, and was only included after Virat Kohli picked up an injury ahead of the match.

His 94-run stand with vice-captain Shubman Gill set the tone for India's four-wicket win.
