Attacking young batsman from Mumbai, Shreyas Iyer, said he was sledged by wicketkeeper Matthew Wade and David Warner during the course of the day two of the ongoing three-day practice match between India A and Australia. Iyer slammed an unbeaten 85 off 93 balls against Australia to power India A to 176/4 in reply to the visitors' 469/7 declared. "They started to sledge and said 'this guy does not have defense, he can play only attacking shots'. But I am used to this type of sledging, having toured Australia with India A teams in the past," Iyer said. Iyer also said he was confident that one day he will definitely get to play for India.
