Team India has suffered a crushing defeat in the T20 series between India and Ireland. India has lost against Ireland for the first time under Shreyas Iyer’s captaincy. Shreyas Iyer explained the reasons for the defeat.
IND vs IRE: The series has been a nightmare for the Indian cricket team that toured Ireland. Ireland not only defeated India 2-0 in the series, but also stopped Team India’s 16-series unbeaten streak. After this humiliating defeat, captain Shreyas Iyer has broken his silence on the team’s failure.
What were the reasons for the defeat?
During the post-match presentation, Shreyas Iyer candidly admitted that Team India had lost track of the pitch conditions. Iyer said – Ireland’s team played very professional cricket. They read the pitch better than us. We also trailed in taking singles and doubles, which decide the outcome of matches in such a small format.
A shameful record in the name of Iyer
Shreyas Iyer has become the first Indian captain to lose the first T20 series of his captaincy. This defeat is definitely a matter of concern for Indian cricket, especially when it comes against a strong team like England in the coming days.
