Indian captain Rohit Sharma called Iyer as ‘Silent Hero’. Iyer became a bridge between top order and middle and lower order, blowing spin in the middle overs on slow wickets in Dubai and ending the danger.
Shreyas Iyer of India won the ICC Player of the Month Award for March for his excellent performance at the Champions Trophy in Dubai. Iyer, who scored the most runs in the tournament, scored 172 runs in three matches in March, including 79 off 98 balls in the final league phase against New Zealand, when Men in Blues lost the top three players cheaply. Iyer scored a significant 45 runs in the semi -finals against Australia and then scored 48 off 62 balls in a decisive match against Kiwi.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma called Iyer as ‘Silent Hero’. Iyer became a bridge between top order and middle and lower order, blowing spin in the middle overs on slow wickets in Dubai and ending the danger. Iyer said in an ICC release, “I am really honored when I was selected for March for the ICC Mains Player of the Month.
Iyer said, “Being able to contribute to India’s success on such a big platform is something that every cricketer dreams. I am thankful to his unwavering support and trust in my colleagues, coaches and colleagues.” This was a difficult start for Iyer this season as he did not find a place in India’s line-up and played the first ODI against England in Nagpur in February because Virat Kohli did not fit 100 percent, but his 59-run innings in 36 balls confirmed his place in the team and India sent back 44 and 78 runs in the final two matches.
