Iyer last played for India in the 2-0 ODI series defeat in Sri Lanka in August 2024, and is now back in the mix for back-to-back 50-over assignments in the national set-up. \u201cI love to be in the present and that\u2019s what I am going to do in the ODI series right now, match by match. The learnings and knowledge I would be gaining out of this, especially on joining the team after a long time, is key.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt gives me chills every time I wear the Indian team jersey \u2013 showcasing the emblem and logo \u2013 is a proud moment. I would play the game with full energy and give my best. This gap which I got from international cricket has given me a lot of learnings. See, to be honest, I don't run behind success. I follow a certain type of routine & preparation which will take me towards success,\u201d said Iyer in a video posted by bcci.tv. on Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Iyer had a magical 2024 where he won championships for fun. He led his previous IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders to a season triumph before being a part of the Mumbai team winning the Irani Cup and the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cFor me, the champion is me. It is always in the mind that there is no one to support you other than yourself. You keep transforming and elevating yourself from one level to another and you never cry over split milk.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cSee, I always keep saying that I love staying in the present and I have been so grateful that I won many championships in 2024. But the more I do keep repeating things every now and then, that inevitably gets me the result.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe journey overall teaches you a lot \u2013 you win some, you lose some and you experience a lot. If you run behind something, you definitely get it. But there\u2019s a journey towards it; it\u2019s not that you get it overnight,\u201d elaborated Iyer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He also talked about keeping his self-belief intact and being grounded despite garnering so much championship success. \u201cThe more you achieve, the more success you get. It is important and essential to be down to earth and see that you show a gratifying gesture towards everyone. I never underestimate myself.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
