I was in shock when I saw the replays myself: Shreyas Iyer
In the post-match presentation, Shreyas Iyer who was named as the Man of the Match for his unbeaten 74 runs has said, "I feel when I do that, the body reflexes work well and I can time my movement well.
That's why I backed away, but he bowled it well, full and the swing took it away from the stumps. I was in shock when I saw the replays myself. It was important for me to time the ball - it was swinging and seaming.

Ishan started well, but when he got out, Sanju got us going, and when he was dismissed, Jaddu bhai came out to close the match for us," Shreyas Iyer was quoted by Cricbuzz.
"I wasn't really thinking was focussed on myself and at the present - that's what we always talk about in the team meetings. When I faced the first few balls, I realised it wasn't turning, so I knew I could use the feet, the ball was travelling well, so I could step out on the lofted shots," he added.
