Shreyas Iyer’s start as captain with the Indian team has not been good. Under his captaincy, Team India first lost to Ireland and now has also lost to England. In the second T20 match played in Manchester, England defeated India by 4 wickets. Under his captaincy, Team India has not been able to win even a single match yet. Captain Shreyas Iyer looked quite disappointed after this defeat. After the end of the match, he told where Team India went wrong and why the team lost the match.
17th over became heavy for us- Shreyas Iyer
In the post match presentation ceremony, Shreyas Iyer said that I think we all know where the match slipped from our hands, but I do not want to point fingers at any one player. I thought he would make a strong comeback after bowling the first no-ball, but the 17th over proved too heavy for us. Well, he will definitely learn from this mistake. Let us tell you that Ravi Bishnoi was bowling the 17th over of the innings for India. In that over, he spent 29 runs including two no balls which proved costly for the team.
Shreyas praised Jacob Bethel
Regarding the pitch, Iyer said that on this pitch the ball was bouncing unevenly, sometimes less and sometimes more, so I think our score was quite good. We had a strong hold on the match for the first 15 overs, but then suddenly the tables turned, for which Jacob Bethel’s innings have to be praised. In this match, Jacoby Bethel played an unbeaten inning of 76 runs on 46 balls with the help of 5 fours and 5 sixes.
What did Iyer say about Vaibhav?
Regarding Vaibhav, the Indian captain said that his nature is very fearless and he is not afraid at all. A lot can really be learned from the way he bats in the nets. I had an idea that he would not be nervous at all in his first match. Let us tell you that in his debut match, Vaibhav could score only 14 runs with the help of two sixes in 10 balls. Everyone now hopes that he will play a big innings in the next match.
