After the first innings, Iyer said- the ball was stopping a little. This is not an Eden Gardens pitch on which I am accustomed to playing.

He also said that he feels that his team has scored a good score. He further said- I did not get much runs in the first two matches, so I just wanted to feel the wicket.
