Shreyas Iyer shares his experience in Japan
"It is beautiful. I mean, when we landed, we saw that the people were very cordial, generous, and helpful in nature, which we see back at home as well. The hospitality is brilliant, and yeah, I mean, it is too early to talk about it, but I'm sure that I've heard special things from people about Japan as a country and Tokyo as a city as well, so looking forward to exploring more," he said.
Shreyas Iyer is expecting a thriller in Japan
"It is going to be a thrilling and exciting match for us. This is the first time we will be playing Japan, and we do not know much about the conditions or the wicket, but looking forward to having a great match," he added.
Iyer will look to get back in form, as he sustained a series of underwhelming outings in the recently concluded T20I series against Afghanistan in Delhi, scoring only 8*, 11 and 29. India men's cricket team's journey in the 2026 Asian Games will start on September 28. Ahead of the first match in the event, it will be important for the team to see the skipper in his usual form with the bat.
