Captain Shreyas Iyer said on the shameful defeat against Ireland, this will be the sure plan for victory in the next match.

Shreyas Iyer Captaincy Debut: The beginning of the captaincy for the new captain of the Indian T20 cricket team, Shreyas Iyer has been very disappointing. In the first T20 match played against Ireland, the Indian team had to face a crushing defeat by 34 runs. With this victory, Ireland has made a big record of defeating Team India for the first time in the history of T20 International cricket.

Bowling was good but missed in middle overs

After losing the toss and opting to bat first, the Irish team scored a strong score of 182 runs after losing 9 wickets in the stipulated overs. In response to this, the batting order of the Indian team completely faltered and the entire team collapsed for just 148 runs in 18.5 overs. After the match, captain Iyer admitted that the team could not implement its strategies properly on the field in the middle overs.

The disadvantage of having a small boundary

Newly appointed captain Shreyas Iyer, while giving his reaction after the end of the match, said that in the beginning our bowlers used swing and seam well and took wickets. But in the middle overs, we gave freedom to the opposition batsmen to play straight shots, even though we knew that the boundary there was very small. However, in the last overs the bowlers made a good comeback by stopping the runs.

Harshit Rana’s amazing performance after injury

Despite the defeat in the match, some positive things also emerged for the Indian team. Fast bowler Harshit Rana took 3 important wickets giving only 24 runs in his 4 over spell. All-rounder Shivam Dubey also bowled economically and took 1 wicket for 18 runs in 3 overs. Captain Iyer has praised both the players highly.

Iyer has confidence in Shivam and Harshit

The captain further said that I have played domestic cricket with Shivam Dubey and I understand his strengths very well, I always have faith in him. The kind of passion and talent that Harshit Rana has shown while returning after injury is really commendable. Learning from the shortcomings of this match, we will take the field with new energy in the next match.

gave a strong message to the players

Disappointed with the defeat, Shreyas Iyer, while giving advice to the team players, said that no opposition team or opportunity can be taken lightly at the international level. You do not win the match just by coming on the field, but you have to make your presence felt in the game every moment. Whenever there is an opportunity to put pressure on the opposing team, it should be capitalized immediately.

Last chance to return on June 28

The Indian team will now play the second and last T20 match of the series on the same ground on June 28. To end the series at 1-1, India will have to win this match at any cost. Captain Shreyas Iyer has said that the team is fully prepared to leave this defeat behind and make a very strong comeback in the next match.
