Iyer was named player of the match but could be in doubt for the series-decider in Delhi on October 11 after cramping during the game. “The wicket was playing well when I went in," Iyer said. "Ishan and I wanted to play the ball on merit and build a partnership. It worked out well for us. I will know about the final game on reaching Delhi.” (Image: AP)
