Shreyas Iyer and interim head coach VVS Laxman praised each other's contributions after India completed a 3-0 T20I series sweep over Zimbabwe. Laxman lauded Iyer's confidence and leadership despite his difficult start as captain, while Iyer credited Laxman's guidance and motivation. India sealed the series with a 35-run victory in the third and final T20I.
Harare: Shreyas Iyer found VVS Laxman's mentorship inspiring, while Laxman marvelled at the young batter's infectious confidence as India's T20 captain and its interim head coach applauded each other's role in the 3-0 sweep of Zimbabwe here.
A relatively new-look India, which did not have several regular stars such as Sanju Samson, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana, hammered the home team and comfortably clinched the series, closing it with a 35-run win in the third and final T20I on Sunday.
In a dressing room video released by BCCI, Laxman spoke at length about Iyer's tough mindset.
"I would like to specially congratulate Shreyas because he had a rough start to his captaincy career but the way he came back, right from the first day when he joined us one day before the first game, he was very optimistic," Laxman said referring to the 0-4 loss to England earlier this month, which was Iyer's first as India's T20 captain.
