India captain Shreyas Iyer shared his disappointment, admitting that the team failed in execution once again in all departments after England sealed the T20I series with a stunning nine-wicket win. Iyer top-scored with an unbeaten 80 to help India post 158 for 7, a total that was not enough for England, who raced home in just 13.5 overs.
“Again it was a disappointing one. 158 wasn’t the perfect total on the board. Eventually we saw how quickly they chased it down. When we came onto bowl I just asked the bowlers to repeat the lengths as much as possible. Top of middle and leg was difficult to score off. We fell short on our execution,” he said in the post match presentation.
However, Shreyas Iyer was happy with his performance, but he said it doesn’t matter when the team has lost the match.
“Definitely happy with my performance, but see, if it’s not on the winning cause, it just goes to the side. So disappointed on that aspect because whenever I play, I want to perform and see to it that my team wins. But unfortunately, today wasn’t that day. Definitely look forward in the next game,” he stated.
“This is a transition phase and we will be making mistakes. Have to realise how important it is to adapt. I’m sure there are quick-learners in the team and they will assess themselves,” he concluded.
