Shreyas Iyer Statement: ‘Don’t want to point fingers at anyone…’, without naming whom did Shreyas Iyer tell after the defeat?

New Delhi. India lost the second match of the T20 series against England by 4 wickets on Saturday at Old Trafford. After trailing 0-1 in the five-match series, Iyer pointed towards the poor bowling of Ravi Bishnoi and clearly said that he does not want to blame any one player for the defeat. The Indian team, which came to bat first in Manchester, scored 190 runs after losing 7 wickets. In response, England won the match with 4 wickets remaining in 19 overs. After the match, Indian captain Shreyas Iyer said, “We all know where the mistakes happened, but I do not want to point fingers at any one player.”

The England team had scored 142 runs by losing 5 wickets till the 16th over, but in the next over, Ravi Bishnoi gave away 29 runs. A total of 2 no-balls were also bowled in this over. This bowler gave away a total of 60 runs in 4 overs, but did not take a single wicket.

The captain said about the 25-year-old leg spinner, “I think there was a no-ball, but I am sure he will come back stronger. Then the match went out of hand in the 17th over, he will have to learn from it. It was a tremendous score on this pitch, especially Tilak’s brilliant 20 runs in the last over.”

Jacob Bethel had an important contribution in England’s victory, who scored unbeaten 76 runs in 46 balls with 5 sixes and as many fours. Praising this player, the Indian captain said, “The way Bethel faced the bowlers was praiseworthy. I think Sam Curran understood the dimensions of the field right from the beginning and did not give our left-handed batsmen space to play shots. The batsmen are strong on the leg side, and he was not allowing them to play there.”

Vaibhav Suryavanshi made his debut in international cricket at the age of 15 years and 99 days, with which Vaibhav became the youngest player of the Indian cricket team. However, he was out after scoring 14 runs in 10 balls. On Vaibhav’s debut, the Indian captain said, “I think he has an unpretentious style, it is really great to watch him play. I did not think he would be nervous; he has played tremendous cricket in the last few months and years. He has really played well according to the occasion; it was great to watch him play.”
