India captain Shreyas Iyer said poor adaptation to conditions and costly fielding errors led to India's 4-0 T20I series defeat against England.
Jos Buttler smashed 131 as England beat India by 56 runs in the fifth T20I to complete a 4-0 series sweep and reclaim the No. 1 spot in the ICC T20I rankings.
The BCCI will conduct a detailed review of India's men's T20I team after the England tour, with players and support staff set to be assessed following successive series defeats.
India captain Shreyas Iyer admitted his side fell short in execution after England sealed the T20I series with a nine-wicket win, while backing the young team to learn during its transition phase.
Harry Brook's unbeaten 79 and Phil Salt's 59 guided England to a dominant nine-wicket win over India in the fourth T20I, sealing the series 3-0.
The 31-year-old was at his clinical best, finishing with figures of 5 for 74 as England were bowled out for 387.
After a successful outing with the ball on the opening day of the Lord’s Test, where he got rid of both the English openers, Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley, seam-bowling all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy credited Australia’s captain Pat Cummins and India’s bowling coach Morne Morkel for his success.
The five-Test series between India and England is delicately balanced at 1-1, but the potentially series-defining third match, starting Thursday at the iconic Lord’s brings with it an added layer of intrigue with the return of two of modern cricket’s most lethal fast bowlers — Jasprit Bumrah and Jofra Archer.
Stokes admitted that, given the standard of quality the two teams possess, he expected the series to be a balanced encounter with both sides facing ups and downs.
The win helped India bounce back in the five-match series, with both teams now level at 1-1 heading into the third Test, starting at Lord’s on Thursday.
