Star Indian batter Shreyas Iyer opened up about the change in his stance visible in the first two ODIs of the ongoing series in Australia. The right-hander has employed a more open stance in both Perth and Adelaide, and the batter believes the modification is serving him well to counter the bounce.While he scored only 11 in the series opener before being bounced out by Josh Hazlewood, the 30-year-old scored a valuable 77-ball 61 on a challenging Adelaide wicket in the second ODI.Talking about his modified stance in the press conference after the second ODI, Iyer said:"This technique which I've got lately is not something I've changed over time. But since last year, I wanted to have an upright stance to counter the bounce if it's more than expected. So I worked with my coach and we developed this new technique and it was suiting me pretty well. The way I grew up playing, I pretty much had an upright stance. And I was like, 'Let's go back to my old technique and see how it paces up'. So I backed myself and started in the domestic games and then till now I've been continuing with the same stance."He continued:"The upright stance helps in Australia and even in Mumbai, where the bounce is a little bit more than expected. You've to keep chopping and changing every now and then because you don't play on the same wickets. Whatever the wicket demands, you've to change your stance accordingly. I've changed so many stances that I am able to adapt anywhere at the moment."Iyer has historically struggled to cope with the short delivery despite boasting a stellar ODI record. The change in stance enabled the star batter to counter a brilliant Australian fast-bowling attack in the Adelaide encounter."We just decided to rotate the strike as much as possible" - Shreyas Iyer on his partnership with Rohit SharmaShreyas Iyer opened up on the conversation with Rohit Sharma during their 118-run third-wicket partnership in the Adelaide game. India were on the back foot at 17/2 in the seventh over when the duo joined hands."It was very crucial and we were just saying, 'Let's build the momentum towards us'. Because Hazlewood was bowling amazingly and the ball was seaming in and out. It wasn't an easy wicket to bat on, especially at the start. So we just wanted to have an attacking approach at the start but at the same time, it wasn't easy to score runs. So we just decided to rotate the strike as much as possible and see to it that we come to a total where we can charge on the bowlers," said Iyer.Iyer also refused to blame the conditions for Australia chasing India's total of 264 down under lights."Credit where it's due, they played brilliantly. The way they batted and rotated strike, it was a superb performance. Cooper especially being a youngster and showing so much maturity to finish off the game showed a lot of character. And he's someone I've seen even in the A games was charging on the bowlers and very selective in terms of which bowlers to target," he stated.The two-wicket win meant Australia took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the best-of-three ODI series.
