PORT OF SPAIN (Trinidad): After registering a thumping win over West Indies in the second ODI, India batter Shreyas Iyer said that he is hopeful of scoring a century in the next game.
Chasing a mammoth 312 to win, half-centuries from Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson and Axar Patel helped India win the second ODI of the three-match series against West Indies by two wickets at the Queens Park Oval stadium in Port of Spain on Sunday.
Shreyas scored 63 runs off 71 balls before he got out LBW to Alzarri Joseph.
“I was really happy with the score I got today, but really unhappy with the way I was dismissed. I thought I could have taken the team through easily but very unfortunate with the wicket. Hopefully, I score a century in the next game,” said Shreyas in a post-match press conference.
India have now taken a winning 2-0 lead in the series. Struggling at 79/3, a 99-run stand between Shreyas and Samson (54) provided stability to the visitors’ innings.

“We lost two back-to-back wickets for 60 and from there we had to rebuild. Sanju came in and showed a lot of intent. I was already batting and had faced around 20 balls. So Sanju and I knew what we had to do. Sanju faced a few balls and then he took on the spinners,” said Shreyas
“He hit two sixes and suddenly the momentum shifted towards us and from there, we built on the partnership,” he added.
The batter further praised all-rounder Patel (64*) for his great knock, which took India past the finishing line. Deepak Hood contributed 33.
“It was fun, to be honest. We all were sitting together and Rahul (Dravid) sir was getting tensed. He was passing on the message. But yeah, I think a lot of players showed really good emotions out there. They were really calm and composed during the pressure situations,” said the batter.
“Since we have played so many games now, we have seen such emotions and it was just a normal game for us. I think we did pretty well, especially Axar. Outstanding knock,” he added.
