Delhi Daredevils' Mumbai lad Shreyas Iyer is happy to prove that a batsman can succeed in Twenty20 cricket with copybook cricketing shots and not necessarily flashy strokes

Shreyas Iyer
Shreyas Iyer is keen to be different from his peers. Unlike other youngsters in IPL-8, who believe in dishing out dazzling performances with an array of flashy shots, the 20-year-old Mumbaikar is keen to succeed in the Twenty20 era playing pure cricketing shots.

Iyer also has good reason to back himself to play copybook shots too. In his debut first-class season, he finished as Mumbai's highest run-getter in the Ranji Trophy, scoring 809 in 10 matches (including two centuries and six half-centuries).
