MIRPUR: The constant talk about his apparent weakness against short pitched delivery did affect him at one point of time but Shreyas Iyer on Friday said that he turned a "deaf ear" to outside comments and focussed on taking corrective measures which is yielding results.
Iyer, who scored 87 off 105 balls to take India out of trouble in the second Test against Bangladesh here, was targeted for a brief period with short balls by the home side bowlers. He said he was confident of doing well against the tactics as he had done a lot of practice.
