Under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, the Indian cricket team lost the T20 series against England 0-4. Even in the fifth T20 played on Saturday, the bowlers and batsmen disappointed, the fielding was also of poor quality, as we have seen in this entire series. The first match of the series was cancelled, after which England won all four matches. India has lost 6 consecutive matches under the captaincy of Iyer. Know the 5 big reasons for the defeat in this series.

wrong approach of batsmen

Sanju Samson played in the first match of the T20 series against England, but he was dropped in the next and Vaibhav Suryavanshi was made his debut. Whereas many veterans said that Vaibhav should have made his debut in Ireland before fielding him against England. This also brought insecurity among the top batsmen that whoever Tej would not play, Vaibhav would play in his place. We saw what happened to the Indian batsmen while trying to play fast.

Be it Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma or Ishan Kishan, everyone tried to dominate from the first ball. They flopped on the same pitch on which England’s batsmen were scoring a lot of runs. Indian batsmen did not take the weather into consideration and played with only one approach – to hit every ball. Whereas it was important to form a partnership according to the conditions. Indian batsmen went for maximums instead of grounded shots; in the entire series, the top batsmen were mostly out caught.

change in batting order

Constant changes were also seen in the order of the batsmen. Sanju-Abhishek opened in the first match. Then Vaibhav-Abhishek played in 3 matches and in the last Vaibhav was dropped. Well, it is still understandable here, but making unnecessary changes in the middle overs proved costly. Tilak Verma scored 2 centuries while playing at number three in this format, but he was sent down to the lower order. Even then his position was not confirmed, sometimes he came to bat at number five and sometimes at number six.

Shivam Dubey was sometimes sent up and sometimes down. The middle order batsmen were also seen falling into the trap of the England bowlers. Our all-rounder was a complete flop in this series, he could not perform well either with the ball or the bat.

Change in bowling after every match

When a team makes changes in the playing 11 after every match, it shows how much pressure it is under. There were changes in the bowling unit after almost every match. Prince Yadav, who took 3 wickets in his debut match in Ireland, was inexplicably dropped in the first match in England. Washington Sundar was dropped, came back and was dropped again. It seemed that the coach, captain and management were completely confused. While many veterans believe that we should have gone with 5 proper bowlers, we should have trusted them.

Spinners completely flopped

It was not that there was no help for the spinners in this series played in England. While England’s spinners took a total of 10 wickets in this series, India’s spinners were able to take only 3 wickets. Akshar Patel gave away 63 runs in 4 overs in the fifth T20, but could not take any wicket. Washington Sundar also flopped.

poor quality fielding

You don’t expect such fielding from the world number-1 team, as we saw in this series against England. Many misfields, catch drops disappointed, that agility was not visible on the field. The body language also looked like we had already accepted defeat.
