Shreyas Iyer: Team India has had a very bad start under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer. Under his captaincy, Team India has played 7 matches so far, out of which the Indian team has faced defeat in 6. One match was canceled due to rain. In the fifth T20 match against England, Team India had to face defeat by a huge margin of 56 runs. After this defeat, Team India captain Shreyas Iyer looked very angry and explained why the team had to face a crushing defeat in this series.
What did Shreyas Iyer say after the defeat?
After the fifth T20 match, Shreyas Iyer said that we have learned a lot from this match. Especially we understood the environment and pitch here closely. I think the most important thing in cricket is that you adapt yourself to the conditions. The weather and conditions kept changing since the first match and being a professional player, we have to learn from this change. It is very important for us to talk openly among ourselves about where we could have improved.
Shreyas blamed poor fielding for the defeat
He further said that good fielding is very important in winning the match. Fielding was the biggest weakness of our team. When you go to play in another country, the size of the grounds there is different and you have to adjust accordingly. This pitch was very good for batting, where we had a chance to deceive the batsmen. But we dropped some catches. If those catches had been taken, we would have got the target of only 220-225 runs. Unfortunately we could not do this.
Iyer praised Butler and Brook
While batting, our wickets kept falling continuously. On the other hand, the England bowlers bowled very accurately, anyway they have good experience of playing on their home ground. Praising Butler and Brook, Iyer said that Butler batted very well and then Harry Brook also supported him well. To be honest, it was our dropped catches that turned the match.
