Uncapped Shreyas Iyer, who is part of the 16-member Indian squad for the T20I series against New Zealand starting on wednesday, says he is comfortable playing at any position. He was rewarded for his consistent performances in the domestic circuit and the IPL over the last two years. Iyer led India A to a tri-series title in South Africa earlier this year, hitting a big hundred against South Africa A in the final of the tournament.
“It was very helpful for me. I was going through a good patch, got good starts, but I was not able to convert them into big knocks till the final,” Iyer told.
“It (the final) was a big game, it (the knock) was really satisfying that it came through and obviously, once you get the team through, you get a lot of attention from the teammates as well.”
Iyer said he is flexible batting at any position.
“I think I am very flexible. I don’t mind batting at any number. Even in Indian Premier League (IPL) this year, I was shuffled from number four to number three. It did not really matter to as I am comfortable,” Iyer said.
“Whatever number I bat, if I get to play the game, I will see to it that I give my best” he added.
