IND vs SL / Shreyas Iyer who missed the second Test century won hearts with this statement know what he said

IND vs SL | Shreyas Iyer Statement, IND vs SL 2nd Test: The second and last match of the two-Test series between India and Sri Lanka is being played at the M Chinna Swamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Bangalore pitch is proving to be very dangerous for the batsmen in the Day-Night Test. This can be gauged from the fact that by the end of the first day's play, a total of 16 wickets fell. But even on this difficult pitch, Indian batsman Shreyas Iyer made batting easy. While all the batsmen looked troubled, Iyer smashed 92 off 98 balls with the help of 10 fours and 4 high-rise sixes to take the team to a score of 252, though he missed his second Test century. Iyer, who entertained the fans with his batting during the match, won hearts with his post-match statement.

Shreyas Iyer said after the match "When I was sitting inside, there was drama in every over and the excitement was increasing rapidly. I didn't want to get out defending the ball because instead of scoring runs, I was getting out like this." Chances are high. I came out positive. When the left-arm spinner was bowling, there was no mid-wicket and my plan was to go ahead and look for a run because mid-off was also behind. Even if I hit the ball hard enough, it would have landed in a safe place."

Regarding his century, this player said "I didn't have a century in my mind, once I got past 80, Jassi (Bumrah) was defending the ball really well and I never thought I should be in the 5th -6th ball to take a single. It's part of the game. Today wasn't my day and I have no regrets. When the ball was new it was swinging. We discussed in the dressing room that fast bowlers should play a huge role. And that's what we saw."

After bowling out India for 252 runs, Sri Lanka lost their 6 wickets for 86 runs at the end of the first day's play. For Team India, Jasprit Bumrah took three and Mohammed Shami took two wickets, while Axar Patel got a breakthrough.
