However, ahead of the upcoming IPL season, KKR’s skipper said that he is in the best frame of mind heading into this tournament.
Ahead of their opening encounter against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Shreyas Iyer said, “I don’t want to think about what the doctor has said or what the injury was because, as I mentioned previously, when you over-think, put your focus on the injury, and in that moment, forget about what you’re doing the best.””
Iyer further added, So, I want to put all these things aside and focus on what’s there for me on the plate.”
Shreyas Iyer said that he is optimistic about his performance going into the tournament.
Shreyas Iyer said, “I have ticked the boxes in every way possible, so I am in high spirits.”
“Right now, if I look at myself, I feel that I’m in the best shape possible. I played so many years in the IPL, so it’s not that I am completely distant from it. Personally, my preparation has been top-notch.” He has done the hard yards and is ready for the big challenge.
“I’ve been doing my training regularly; I’ve been hitting the balls, and I’ve been batting for longer periods of time. So, that is something I’m thriving on.”
There have been a lot of talks about Shreyas Iyer’s back injury and his contract saga. Speaking about the same, Shreyas Iyer said, “I’m looking forward to winning the IPL. If you asked any captain, they would have the same mentality. And that’s why you have to be in the present as much as possible.”
Shreyas Iyer had already been in the news for quite some time because of his attitude and behavior towards the game.
Speaking on the same subject, Shreyas Iyer said, “If you dwell too much, either on the past or the future, I personally feel that you make a lot of mistakes. So, that’s what I’ve learned over a period of time: whatever is in your hand, you have to make the best use of it. The decision-making outside of it is not in your hands, and the more you dwell on that, the more mistakes you will be indulging in.
Iyer further added, “So I just want to keep doing my work and see to it that I do it right. And if I even do it wrong, I want to learn from it and see to it that I don’t repeat it again.”
