Shreyas Iyer’s big statement came out

Let us tell you that before the important match of KKR against Delhi Capitals, Star Sports has shared a video of Shreyas. In this video, Shreyas Iyer said- I have said this earlier also that when you are on the other side, butterflies keep flying in your stomach. You’re always thinking about the crowd and the conditions and what’s going to happen.

When I step on the field to play a match, I go completely blank. That means you can see the fans cheering, you can hear them. Once you get into that zone, nothing else matters to you.

But when you hit a four or a six, the fans start making noise. After this the batsman is in his flow. After this we feel that we should hit a six, because it gives us energy, which I like. After this the fans start chanting your name. That’s the only thing that motivates me to play.
