Player of the Match
Shreyas Iyer | India
Well, certainly turning square.
Honestly speaking, it was a very difficult wicket to bat on. We saw the openers as well, who are used to scoring runs consistently, not able to gauge the pace of the spin, and I decided when I got in that it’s important that I need to take singles and doubles and rotate the strike as much as possible. I also interacted with the batsmen who came in with me, but it was difficult to do that as well.
