'Shreyas is in pain but is able to move his shoulder': Dhawan

Delhi Shreyas Iyer remains "in a bit of pain" after hurting his left shoulder and a complete picture will emerge only after arrival of his scan reports, said his teammate Shikhar Dhawan.

Iyer hurt his left shoulder while trying to effect a diving stop during Rajasthan innings on Wednesday and h to leave field.

"He (Iyer) is in a bit of pain but good thing is he is able to move his shoulder. I haven't spoken to him at length," said stand-in captain Dhawan after his team's 13-run win.

senior opener led his team well during end sts of game.

"One moment it was quite even and to pick it back from re was a team effort. It was important we stay positive as a team. I knew ir batting isn't deep and if we got ir top-order we can get m," seasoned India international said.

Dhawan was all praise for his pacers, including leing wicket-taker Kagiso Raba (18 wickets) and fastest bowler in world cricket, Anrich rtje.

"Every time, we want m to deliver y're delivering," Dhawan said.

He also praised debutant Tushar Deshpande.

"He showed cour. line and length he bowled was amazing. We have to keep momentum. It's a long tournament. We will keep process going," Dhawan said.

Rajasthan captain Steve Smith pointed out that slowness of track was one of reasons for defeat.

"It was disappointing. wicket slowed up a bit as game went on. We got off to a good start with Jos (Buttler) and (Ben Stokes) Stokesy, n we lost a couple wickets and got ar partnership between Stokesy and Sanju (Samson), n again lost wickets in clumps and on slow wickets it is hard to make up too many runs at back-end," Smith said.

"We needed to take it a bit deeper from some of our batters and we were t able to do that. We thought we bowled well at back-end and restricted m to 160-odd, that was probably around par on this wicket," Rajasthan skipper said.
