In the practice matches, I was batting at No.3 which is quiet like opening. So it&#39;s not a problem for me at the moment,&quot; Iyer was quoted as saying by iplt20.com on Friday.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">&quot;I was really happy because I got the opportunity to take on the bowlers. It was difficult at the start to face the new bowlers but I am always up for challenges.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">The Daredevils beat the Mumbai-based team by 37 runs here on Thursday to end their nine-match losing streak on their home ground.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">&quot;It is a really, really good feeling to break the jinx of losing home games and I am really happy with the performance of the team,&quot; said Iyer.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">Instrumental in Iyer&#39;s success is Daredevils&#39; assistant coach Pravin Amre, who has been grooming him since he was a 13-year-old. Amre has constantly been by Iyer&#39;s side, trying to improve his game, giving him tips.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">&quot;He (Amre) has really been helping me throughout the tournament. Before every match we practice some techniques and skills which have been helpful,&quot; said the 20-year-old.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">&quot;At the start he just asked me to leave the ball because if I commit to playing shots, I might not time (them well) at the start. So he asked me to get set and give myself the chance to charge at the bowler later on.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
