Iyer will bat at number three
Batting at number four in the Champions Trophy, Shreyas Iyer, who played a key role in India’s victory, wants to leave his distinctive impression while batting at number three in this session of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Shreyas is not a part of India’s T20 team right now, but he wants to pave the way for returning to the national team by performing well for Punjab Kings in IPL. Kolkata Knight Riders won the title under Iyer’s captaincy in the last session. Iyer then batted in the middle order.
Iyer, while talking to the media with Punjab Kings head coach Ricky Ponting, said, “We all know that IPL is an integral part of Indian cricket and if I would like to establish myself in one place in T20, then it will be the third number. My focus is on this. I will not say that we are planning to bat on which number I have to bat.” He said, “This time I am clear about my number in batting order and as long as the coach will get support, I will focus on that number.”
