India vs Sri Lanka, 3rd T20I: Staying Unbeaten In All Three Games vs SL Is Commendable Performance From My Side, Says Shreyas Iyer

India batter Shreyas Iyer has said that staying unbeaten in all three T20Is against Sri Lanka is a commendable performance from his end and he will take plenty of positives from this. Shreyas Iyer won the Player of the Series award after he scored 204 runs in the T20I matches against Sri Lanka. The right-handed batter registered fifties in all three games of the series. "Firstly, I want to cherish this moment, I have achieved a really good total in this T20I series. I want to relax a bit, give myself time and not think too much beyond. I am just staying in the moment now. See if you are playing the T20I format, if you bat at top 3, that is a place from where you can pace your innings really well. If you bat down the order, you cannot give yourself time and you have to go from ball one," said Iyer during a virtual press conference.

"Coming not out in all three games is a commendable performance from my side, I am not keeping any expectations, if you see competition in our team, it is immense. I just want to enjoy each and every opportunity. I like to finish off the games and that is my mindset. I cannot talk about cementing my place, competition is so much, you need to be flexible in batting at any position," he added.

Further talking about the competition within the squad, Shreyas said: "My mindset is to grab as many opportunities as I can and I maximise it. I am playing like I used to, there has been no special preparation. Every player has their own strength and weakness, my mindset is to focus on my strengths. I do not get bogged down if people think short ball is my weakness."
