Failure to adapt cost us: Iyer after losing T20I series

India failed to adapt to English conditions and were outplayed by England and Ireland, skipper Shreyas Iyer said, adding that experience would only make him a better leader.

Iyer endured a disastrous start to his captaincy after taking over from Suryakumar Yadav, as the team suffered a 0-2 defeat to Ireland before losing the T20I series 0-4 to England. “It’s not hard, honestly,” said Iyer during post-match press conference.

“I feel it’s a privilege for me to take over the captaincy. Every individual dreams of captaining for the Indian team and taking on from high. Definitely, I love pressure. “So, for me to thrive under pressure, to learn from these moments is definitely going to make me better going forward. And that’s my mindset right now. Not thinking much about how people are going to think about this particular series because good and bad is part of this game.”
