India middle-order batsman Shreyas Iyer, who scored his second half-century of the World Cup, made it clear that countering short-pitched balls was never a problem for him considering he comes “from Mumbai, especially from Wankhede, where the bounce is pretty much even and it bounces way more than any other pitches.”
Iyer, who scored 82 against Sri Lanka on Thursday, said: “I’ve played the majority of my games here, so I know how to tackle it. It’s just that when I go to hit some shots, you are bound to get out and sometimes it may work, sometimes it may not and the majority of the time it hasn’t worked for me, maybe that’s the reason you think it’s a problem for me. But in my mind, I know there’s no problem.”
