Iyer did make the most out of his opportunity in the Test side in the absence of some of the biggest names in Indian cricket like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul. The 26-year old would hope to make this count, preferably get picked for the next match which would be on his home turf and then give his best to be picked for the upcoming tour of South Africa.
