There is no denying the fact that every cricketer gets immense love and support from his fans while representing their country. For a player to have their name chanted, whether while batting, bowling or fielding is a special feeling which can’t be compared, and players have always talked of the importance of having fans around, especially amid the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused most games to be played behind closed doors.

After playing the last season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) without crowds in the UAE, Shreyas Iyer was among the Indian cricketers who got to play in front of fans and supporters during the team’s tour of Australia and home series against England.
