Team India’s rising batsman Shreyas Iyer on Monday said he is hopeful of making the best of the opportunity to play top quality bowling attack, and if given a chance would concentrate more on playing on the backfoot due to the extra bounce on the wickets there.
“I am 100 percent confident (of doing well). I have never doubted my ability and I am going to back my instincts. I don’t have a set number to bat on as I am not a consistent member of the team,” Iyer said.
“Whatever position I will get to bat in, I will look to make the best of it. I have played in South African wickets. I went there in July with India A.”
“Since I was injured after the Sri Lanka tour, I was watching the match and the wicket is seaming over there. My preparation would be to play the ball on the merit and be on backfoot more rather than front foot. In India, the ball does not climb so much as on South African wickets,” the 23-year-old added.
