Young all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer will be relishing the opportunity that has come his way in the upcoming three-match ODI series against South Africa. The Madhya Pradesh cricketer is expected to don the finisher’s role along with bowling a couple of overs with Hardik Pandya still struggling with injuries.
Meanwhile, Iyer didn’t had the best of the starts to his international career scoring only 36 runs and picking up one wicket in the three T20Is against New Zealand. As he looks to bounce back to get his international career going, Venkatesh Iyer stated that he is taking things as they come.
“I take things as they come. I take it one day at a time. Of course, I have in mind how to go about things there, to have the preps in place for the bouncy tracks and my role as a bowler, as a fielder, as a batter. Everything has worked out, but I still take it one day at a time,” Iyer was quoted as saying to journalist Boria Majumdar on the Revsportz YouTube channel.
Meanwhile, Venkatesh Iyer shot to fame with his superlative performance in the second half of IPL 2021. He scored 370 runs from 10 matches at a blistering strike rate. Since then, he has been in good form making some decent contributions in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and Vijay Hazare Trophy.
“The plans are set” – Venkatesh Iyer
The tall and lanky all-rounder further asserted that he is focusing on the next practice sessions and how he will go about his business in South Africa.
“Right now, my focus is on how to prepare for tomorrow, as in the next practice session and then the next practice session, as soon as I reach South Africa, how to practice there. That is on my mind and not just how I am going to apply myself on the pitch. Of course, the plans are set but I am not too forward-looking for that matter,” Venkatesh Iyer stated.
It is only about time we see Venkatesh Iyer replicating his performance in the international arena.
