5 players let Team India down at Lord’s: The England tour was quite disappointing for India. First, the Indian team captained by Shreyas Iyer had to lose the five-match T20 series (4 defeats, one match cancelled).
At the same time, now Team India led by Shubman Gill had to face defeat in the three-match ODI series by 2-1. After a spectacular win in Birmingham, India faced defeat in Cardiff and then at Lord’s, due to which the series was also lost. In the third ODI, England batted first and scored 387/3.

In the third ODI, England, batting first, scored 387/3, in response to which Team India could only score 360/7 and lost by 27 runs. We are going to mention in the article which 5 players were responsible for this defeat.
These 5 players were responsible for Team India’s defeat at Lord’s
1. Gurnoor Brar
Fast bowler Gurnoor Brar, who made his debut against Afghanistan, also got a chance in the England ODI series. He spent a little more runs in the first two ODIs but also took four wickets. However, at Lord’s it seemed that Gurnoor became a run machine. The English batsmen thrashed him badly. Gurnoor gave away 97 runs in 10 overs without taking any wicket.
2. Arshdeep Singh
Like Gurnoor Brar, Arshdeep Singh also remained ahead in terms of giving away runs and he too did not get any wicket. The left-arm fast bowler was played in the series decider but this bet proved wrong. Arshdeep spent 72 runs in his 10 over spell and could not dismiss even a single England batsman.
3. Ishan Kishan
The England tour was very bad for Team India’s wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan. Apart from one half-century innings on the tour, he did not perform much. Even at Lord’s, Ishaan was expected to strengthen the momentum created by the top order for the run chase with his stormy batting, but he was out after scoring 14 runs in 12 balls.
4. Shreyas Iyer
Team India’s vice-captain Shreyas Iyer also flopped in the third ODI against England. Looking at Iyer’s good form, it was expected that he would try to take the team closer to the target by holding one end but he could not do so. Sam Karan did not even give Shreyas a chance to open the account.
5. Akshar Patel
Team India’s spin all-rounder Axar Patel, who did wonders with both bat and ball in the first ODI, was a complete flop at Lord’s. Akshar spent 61 runs in 10 overs in bowling but could not achieve even a single success. At the same time, when there was a need to score fast runs while batting, he was out after scoring 2 runs.
