What did Shreyas Iyer say on Ravi Bishnoi? (PC-GETTY IMAGES)
Shreyas Iyer’s captaincy looks amazing in IPL but after becoming the captain of Team India, his performance looks very poor. After losing the two-match T20 series against Ireland, Shreyas Iyer now had to face defeat in the second T20 match against England as well. In the match played in Manchester, England defeated India by 4 wickets, while Team India had scored 190 runs. With this defeat, a shameful record was registered in the name of Team India captain Shreyas Iyer.

Shreyas Iyer is the first T20 captain of India who has failed to win even one of the first four matches. Iyer made his T20 captaincy debut against Ireland and in the first match, Team India lost by 34 runs. After this Ireland defeated India by 1 run. In the first T20 against England, the match did not result due to rain and now England defeated India by 4 wickets in the second T20.

The list of captains who did not register victory in the first four T20 matches includes names like Shakib Al Hasan, Elton Chigumbara, Brendan Taylor, Thisara Perera, Mahmudullah, Matthew Wade, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Mohammad Rizwan. Now Shreyas Iyer’s name has also been included in this list.
Whom did Shreyas Iyer hold responsible for the defeat?
Talking about Manchester T20, Shreyas Iyer admitted that Team India was on the track of victory till the 15th over but everything was ruined in the 17th over. Shreyas Iyer said, ‘We all know where the match went out of hand but I would not like to blame any one player. But we fell behind in the 17th over. Let us tell you that leg spinner Ravi Bishnoi gave away 29 runs in the 17th over, which sealed England’s victory. This player gave away 60 runs in his 4 overs. Shreyas Iyer also cited Sam Curran’s bowling and Jacob Bethel’s brilliant batting as the major reasons for Team India’s defeat. Now the third T20 match between India and England will be played on 7th July at Trent Bridge ground in Nottingham.
