No matter whatever people think outside, I have to listen to my body: Iyer

Recently, after hitting a match winning century against Maharashtra, Shreyas Iyer came forward and revealed that he has put in his best effort to avoid the outside noises regarding his back injury. He also stated that he is doing his best to maintain his current level of fitness.

"No matter whatever people think outside, I have to listen to my body because I know the amount of threshold I've carried over the last few years and based on that I'll be taking the right decision and I hope that my team will also back (me). But I'm in a good space right now. I'm doing what I'm meant to do, that is training and playing matches consistently,” Iyer was quoted as saying by Sportskeeda. 

"And I feel that all the matches I've played right now in the past have helped me gain that fitness level. This is my seventh match on the trot and yeah, the body has taken a lot of load. We have to manage here and there and see to it that I strategize in terms of how I play,” he added.
