Shreyas Iyer on his team’s performance
Shreyas Iyer was really impressed with how his team performed in this clash, especially the bowlers as they completely took out the dangerous SRH batters from the game.
"Elated by the performance, the responsibility was important, we stood up for each other, extremely happy with the performances. The rejuvenation was important for us. When you travel so much. It's important to stay in the present. Today was the day we had to maximise, we did it and that's what we thrive on. I think the way every bowler stood up to this occasion, the way they came in and took wickets, that was imperative. The attitude and approach of all bowlers was to take wickets and they did. When you have a variety in the bowling line-up, it's mesmerizing," said Iyer in the post-match presentation.
