The India skipper also spoke about the game and the bowlers’ performance; he also shared his rough start as captain of the side.
Jasprit Bumrah started the proceedings with the new ball and bowled a maiden over. Arshdeep Singh in the second over sent back Rahmanullah Gurbaz for yet another duck as his struggles continued in the series. Then Ibrahim Zadran played an innings of 37 and also stitched a 51-run partnership with Sediqullah Atal; after that, the wicket kept on tumbling.
Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma won the match for India
While chasing, the two openers, Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson, were on song as both fired from the very first over. Abhishek was the first aggressor; later, Sanju also joined the run chase, as the two scored 82 runs inside the powerplay. Abhishek was dismissed for 39 runs off 19 deliveries, smacking four sixes and two fours.
Shreyas Iyer, speaking after the match, stated that he was happy with the team’s performance in the last two games and in this game he sought a dominating win from the side, and it was delivered. He also spoke about settling down as the captain after a tough start to the leadership role.
"[On settling into the captaincy role after a difficult start] Yes, certainly. It was a tough pill to swallow at the start, but the journey is always going to be roller coaster."
Shreyas Iyer hints at playing Vaibhav Sooryavanshi
The Team India captain was asked about the possible changes in the next game. He provided a hint that some players who are sitting out might get a chance, which means the fans might get a glimpse of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in the third and final T20I match.
Shreyas Iyer said, [On possible changes for the next game and giving opportunities to players who have been sitting out] We want all of them to get used to the wicket and the conditions and also get some practice. So it would be a nice game to give opportunities to the players, especially who have been sitting out, and also change a little bit in the combination as well."
