Shreyas Iyer scored back-to-back fifties while batting at No 3 in the ongoing ODI series against West Indies Tamil News: Shreyas has said that it was really lucky to score 2 consecutive fifties in the series against the West Indies and he should have converted it into a century.
IND vs WI – Shreyas Iyer Tamil News: Former Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli is suffering from temporary form out. He is still in search of his 71st century after not scoring big in the last three years. Even in the recent series in England, he did not perform well and disappointed the fans who had faith in him. He managed to score only 76 runs from 6 innings there. This includes a modified fifth Test, two ODIs and two T20Is.
Kohli’s series of poor performances has led the team management to take a decision to rest him from the series against the West Indies. One can hope that these days he will put in some good training and regain his form. Meanwhile, Shreyas Iyer, who has joined the team instead of Kohli in the series against the West Indies, is making full use of the opportunity given by the team management.
Shreyas Iyer has once again grabbed attention by scoring consecutive fifties in the 2 ODIs that he has played in the ODI series against the West Indies.
Batting at No. 3
It’s not because he’s batting at No. 3 that he’s scoring half-centuries like this. This is his 7th fifty against West Indies. “It’s a fun position to bat at No. 3 and I really enjoy it. This is one of the best positions to bat. Because if the wicket falls early you will go into a very difficult situation.

You have to go in and see the new ball and build your innings. If the openers are in a good partnership, you should carry that momentum forward. We have to pick it up from where they left off and see the run rate go up,” Shreyas Iyer said in the post-2nd ODI press conference.
In the recently concluded England series, he did not play much time and did not add big runs. But he proved his doubters wrong with his impressive performance in the ODI series against West Indies.
“It is not up to me to play in the team. All I can do is practice hard off the field and maximize it whenever I get the chance. That’s what I’ve been doing.
Today and the day before yesterday, I had the opportunity to represent my country, which I consider bigger than anything. I gave my 100 percent and when I left the field, I had no regrets. He had also said.
About Extended Webinar…
Shreyas also said that the extensive net practice he took with India’s batting coach Vikram Rathore helped his scoring.
“Hard work off the field always pays off. It’s a reflection of what you do off the field. I work hard. Because the wickets and conditions are changing frequently. Also you need to stay fit and motivate yourself. My mindset is that I will do my job and try to control the controllable.” He said that.
Shreyas on failing to score a century…
Shreyas said that he was really lucky to score 2 consecutive fifties against West Indies, but I should have converted it to a hundred. You don’t get such starts every time in international cricket. If you turn your fifty into a hundred, it will be better. Now I have a golden opportunity to change my innings. But at the same time, as long as the team wins, I’m happy to contribute.

I was very happy with the score I got today. But for me, the way I was dismissed was not a happy one. I should have contributed a lot more to the team. But the way I left was very unfortunate. I hope to score a century in the next match,” he said.
Partnership with Sanju Samson…
Chasing a target of 312 runs in the 2nd ODI against the West Indies, Shubman Gill (43) and Suryakumar Yadav (9) were dismissed in successive overs. Due to this, the run rate that the Indian team had to chase started to be high. In this context Shreyas Iyer and Sanju Samson (54) who were in the field formed an excellent partnership. Also, they scored 99 runs off 94 balls.
“I see this as an important partnership. With the team losing two wickets in quick succession, we were 60 for 3 (79/3) and from there, we had to build a good partnership again. Sanju comes in and obviously shows a lot of intent. I was already batting.
I faced about 20 balls and batted for 15 runs. I knew what I was going to do, Sanju at the same time, he faced some balls and then he went after the spinners. He hit two sixes in their overs. Suddenly, the fast bowler moved towards us. From there, we formed a good partnership and broke the opposition’s pace attack.” Shreyas said.
Cyclone Akshar Patel…
In yesterday’s match, when the Indian team needed 107 runs in 11 overs, Akshar Patel, who was on the field, showed his excellent performance without losing the game till the end. He scored a 35-ball 64 and smashed his maiden ODI half-century. Along with this, Patel ensured the team’s victory and helped the Indian team win the series.
In his press conference, Shreyas Iyer described how emotions were running high in the dressing room in the last two overs of the game and how Team India coach Rahul Dravid showed emotion with every passing ball.
“Actually, it was fun. We were all sitting together and Rahul sir was very tensed; He continued to express it.
Similarly, many players continued to express their emotions. I think they were very calm and composed in a stressful situation. We have already seen all these emotions as we have played several matches recently. It’s another game for us. I think we did well, especially Aksar, the way he finished today. It was a great knock,” he said.
Here’s the match-winning knock from @akshar2026. His magical batting earned him the Player of the Match title.
