Shreyas Iyer pinpoints key reasons behind India’s 4-0 T20I series loss to England
India captain Shreyas Iyer said poor adaptation to conditions and costly fielding errors led to India's 4-0 T20I series defeat against England.
India captain Shreyas Iyer said poor adaptation to conditions and costly fielding errors led to India's 4-0 T20I series defeat against England.
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.
India captain Shreyas Iyer labelled his team's performance "atrocious" after a record 125-run defeat to England in the third T20I, admitting poor execution led to their heaviest-ever loss by runs in men's T20Is.
Leading India for the first time in T20Is, Iyer said the defeat served as an important reminder that no opponent can be underestimated.
Shreyas Iyer admitted India "lost execution in the middle overs" after Ireland's historic 34-run win in the 1st T20I, his first match as T20I captain.
Team India's middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer has been admitted to St Vincent's Hospital in Sydney, where he is undergoing treatment after he sustained an "impact injury" to his left lower rib cage while taking a catch during the third Sydney ODI against Australia, and scans revealed a laceration injury to the spleen.
“Shreyas Iyer sustained an impact injury to his left lower rib cage region while fielding during the third ODI against Australia. He was taken to the hospital for further evaluation,” the BCCI said in a statement.
The incident took place on the fourth ball of the 34th over. Alex Carey miscued the shot, and Shreyas turned around and sprinted towards the ball's landing zone from the backward point
India had earlier posted 264/9 after being inserted to bat in testing morning conditions, with Rohit Sharma making 73, Shreyas Iyer hitting 61 and Axar Patel chipping in with 44.
Team India’s senior pro Virat Kohli, vice-captain Shreyas Iyer, and skipper Shubman Gill opted out of the team’s second training session ahead of their second ODI contest against Australia at the Adelaide Oval on Thursday.
