Great To Win Series And Carry Momentum Into Champions Trophy: Shreyas Iyer

Shreyas Iyer registered scores of 59, 44 and 78 in the three One-Day Internationals (ODI) series against England. Safe to say that he is in excellent form going into the Champions Trophy. However, he believes it is not just him, but every player has found form just at the right time.

"In the first game, I wanted to take the momentum after we lost two consecutive wickets, I tried to play the ball on its merit. I just back my instincts and tried to deliver. In the second game, I thought I would finish the game. And today, Shubman [Gill] and Virat [Kohli]laid a great platform, and that helped me to excel," Iyer said after the third ODI.

"I wish I could have got a hundred. The break I got in between where I was working with the domestic team and I also got the opportunity to work on my technique as well and especially the drop-in shots which got me singles, it’s not about cuts and pulls all the time, it's the balls close to the body when you get singles and that's more satisfying for me."

Speaking of the Champions trophy, Iyer said, "The dressing room is electrifying with lots of energy and I feel each and every individual is in great form in the team. I think it’s great to win this series and carry the momentum into the Champions Trophy. You could see in the three games how every individual stepped up for the team."

India begin their Champions Trophy campaign against Bangladesh on February 20 in Dubai.
