Ever since Shreyas Iyer took over the responsibility of captaining the Indian team, Team India has played 5 matches in T20 International, out of which it faced defeat in four and one match was cancelled. In such a situation, questions are increasingly being raised about his leadership. In the third T20 match against England, which was played at the Nottingham ground, the Indian team had a poor performance in every department and faced a huge defeat of 125 runs in the match. This is Team India’s biggest defeat in terms of difference of runs in the history of T20 International cricket. After losing this match, captain Shreyas Iyer cited the pitch as the main reason for the defeat, in which according to him it was not a 200-run wicket.
I don’t think this pitch was for 200 runs
After Team India’s embarrassing defeat of 125 runs in the third T20 match at the Nottingham ground, Indian captain Shreyas Iyer said in the match presentation that losing the match by such a huge margin cannot be accepted under any circumstances. We will have to accept this defeat and look again at our strategy. According to me, this pitch was not for 200 runs, but first we made mistakes in bowling and then while chasing the target, we lost half the team in the powerplay itself. After that it became very difficult for us to make a comeback in the match and we lost the match there.
There is no use in doing a lot of planning in the meeting
After the defeat in the third T20 match against England, Shreyas Iyer further said that you do a lot of planning in the meeting but when you come to the field, the circumstances change very fast and you have to move forward according to the situation. Bowling hard length on this wicket was proving to be much better but we did not implement it properly. Whereas when you chase a target of 200 or more runs, you should have a plan as to how you will take the innings forward, so we were not able to do that either. Now we need to forget what happened and move forward, but we have also learned a lot from this match. Every player will now have to assess himself how he can prove himself and move forward.
