India all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer said he wants to continue to be flexible with his batting position for Team India after chipping in with crucial contributions in his debut series -- a 3-0 win over New Zealand at home. Venkatesh Iyer shone with a quickfire 20 on Sunday while batting at No. 6 as India registered their biggest-ever win in terms of runs (73) against New Zealand in the 3rd and final T20I in Kolkata.
Venkatesh Iyer joined Shreyas Iyer at a crucial juncture as India had lost quick wickets, including that of a well-set Rohit Sharma, but he played with positive intent, hitting a six and a boundary in the middle-overs. Venkatesh Iyer batted at No. 6 in a crucial run-chase in the first T20I and got a boundary when the team needed 10 runs in an over. He batted at No. 3 in the 2nd T20I and remained unbeaten on 12.
