"It feels really amazing. It feels more amazing when you finish the game, unfortunately I could not do that. Still, I would say it was my one of best innings in the IPL," said Iyer after securing a two-wicket win against Gujarat Lions here yesterday.
Iyer got starts in most of the games but was able to scored two half-centuries including the innings yesterday, when he missed out on a well-deserved hundred.
"It is challenging but at the same time you are a professional. You need to be ready to bat at any position."
Iyer said he likes to start the innings cautiously, irrespective of the format
"When ever I leave the ground I take lots of learning out of it. Even in IPL, you need to take time as a batsman, and cover up at the end of the innings. The same goes in other formats as well.
