Team India won the ODI series 3-0 against West Indies.
Shreyas Iyer, who scored 80 runs in the third ODI against the West Indies, revealed that the last two months have been "really" difficult for him. Iyer tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this month and was forced to miss the first two ODIs against the West Indies.
India defeated West Indies by 96 runs in the third and final ODI at Narendra Modi Stadium on Friday, thanks to Shreyas Iyer's 80-run knock and a team effort from the entire bowling unit.

“To be honest, life was really tough for me in the last two months. Had an infection and Covid, but this day has summed up for all those days. I am flexible to bat anywhere but No. 4 is the best number to bat at,” said Iyer at the post-match presentation.
“If I am thrown into a pressure situation like today, I thrive on it and enjoy those moments. When I go in, like today’s situation, I had to play off the new ball. For that, you need to have good skills and play close to the body. From there you need to set the rhythm through the innings. It's not easy, but if you focus on your skills you can do it,” he added.
Both teams will now face off in a three-match T20I series in Kolkata, which begins on February 16.
