He also talked about the change in approach which is required while batting in the top-3 as compared to batting in the middle-order.He said:‘’Firstly, I want to cherish this moment, I have achieved a really good total in this T20I series. I want to relax a bit, give myself time and not think too much beyond. I am just staying in the moment now. See if you are playing the T20I format, if you bat at top 3, that is a place from where you can pace your innings really well. If you bat down the order, you cannot give yourself time and you have to go from ball one."Shreyas Iyer@ShreyasIyer15Special series Thanks for your wishes 12:01 PM · Feb 28, 2022527202451Special series ❤️ Thanks for your wishes 🙏🇮🇳 https://t.co/Gta2X5GT6xIyer got an opportunity to bat at the No.3 spot in the absence of Virat Kohli and the Mumbai lad made the most of it.The newly-appointed Kolkata Knight Riders skipper stitched scores of 57* (28), 74* (44) and 73* (45) without getting dismissed even once.'My mindset is to grab as many opportunities I can and I maximize it' - Shreyas IyerIyer became the first Indian batsman to score in excess of 200 runs in a three-match T20I series.
