Virender Sehwag made a big disclosure about Shreyas Iyer
Cricbaz has shared a video on his official Instagram account in which Virender Sehwag has said, “Such an innings is rarely seen when you are following a target of 203 runs and a player has scored at a strike rate of 200 and that too captain.” Punjab will be very happy but, not a single smile was seen on Shreyas Iyer’s face. When he was batting, he could see seriousness on his face.
Sehwag further said, ‘It could be seen how much focus he is for this match. He believed that I would not have to be out and I will take my team to the match. Not only this, even when he hit a six, he looked very serious. This is because the mistakes made from him in the last match did not want to repeat it in it. In the last match, he was dismissed by playing the wrong shot. It may also be that he is wondering why I will celebrate the first celebrations when I win the finals then I will celebrate. It was fun to see his innings.
Virender Sehwag praised fiercely
The former player further said, ‘Very few people praise Shreyas Iyer as a captain. His performance as his captaincy figures and batsmen of this year has also been excellent. He has a lot of fours and sixes. It was fun to see Shreyas’s batting.
