Nayar's grip and backlift tweaks unlocked Iyer's maiden T20I ton

Nayar addressed three technical points in a two-hour session that helped Iyer end a 67-match wait for his first T20I hundred.

Abhishek Nayar worked with Shreyas Iyer at his Mumbai home for two hours on grip, initial movement and backlift after the captain returned from the Asian Games. Iyer had failed to cross 30 in his previous 10 T20I innings and had been doubting his ability to clear the boundary. Nayar compared old videos of Iyer's batting and made small technical adjustments that restored the feel for hitting sixes.

CricHubb Take

Nayar's tweaks worked because Iyer had the time and trust to make them outside the national setup; the question now is whether the same access will be available to other batters who aren't captain.
