What is the reason for Team India’s defeat? (PC-GETTY IMAGES)
The Indian cricket team won the T20 World Cup 2026 but since then the condition of this team is bad. First the team lost the T20 series against Ireland and now its condition looks bad in the T20 series against England. The question is why is this happening with the team that won the T20 World Cup? The answer to this was given by Team India’s batting coach Sitanshu Kotak. Before the third T20, Sitanshu Kotak addressed the media and told that such things can happen when there is a change in the team.
Why is Team India losing?
Sitanshu Kotak said, ‘We have not lost a single series in the last two years. We won the T20 World Cup, won the Asia Cup, after losing two-three matches, many people started saying that now they are losing. This is the rule of the game. Sometimes when change happens. If the captain changes, Hardik is not in the team and you give opportunity to 3-4 young players then such things can happen. Even then this should not happen but it happens in sports. But the efforts of the Indian team will continue.
Hardik Pandya is missing
Sitanshu Kotak admitted that Team India is definitely missing Hardik Pandya due to his absence. Kotak said that Nitish Reddy was given a chance but he is injured. Now Suryansh Shedge has been given the responsibility. Even if these players do not play the match, they will get to learn a lot by being in the squad of 15 players.
The aim is to win the next World Cup
Sitanshu Kotak further said that Team India wants to improve batting, bowling and fielding. Team India wants to win the next World Cup and for that it is important to improve itself further. This is the only goal of Team India. At present, Team India should try to win the T20 series, the third match of which will be played in Trent Bridge on Tuesday. If Team India loses in this match, then this T20 series will also be lost from its hands.
Suryavanshi’s debut was certain
Sitanshu Kotak also said that as soon as Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s name came in Team India, his debut was certain. Sitanshu said that the team management was not making any special plan to prepare Vaibhav. Suryavanshi was given a chance to debut in the Manchester T20 and he played his first match in international cricket at the age of 15 years, 99 days. He broke the record of Sachin Tendulkar. Sitanshu Kotak said that Suryavanshi should play her natural game in the coming matches also.
