Ahmedabad, ANI. The Indian cricket team suffered a major defeat against England in the first T20 match by 8 wickets. After the defeat of Team India, the batsman Shreyas Iyer, who scored the highest runs for India in the first match, said that more and more we will play with the spinners and our strategy will not change because they are our biggest strength. England had completed the 125-run target for India with 27 balls and the team lost by 8 wickets.
The Indian team landed on the field in this match along with their three frontline spinners Washington Sundar, Akshar Patel and Yuzvendra Chahal while the England team, along with their four frontline pacers Sam Curran, Chris Jordan, Mark Wood and Jofra Archer, took to the field. Talking to ANI, Shreyas Iyer said that, we had practiced on this wicket before the match and the spinners were also getting a turn here. We still have this plan, that we will come on the field with more and more spinners because these are our biggest strengths and we will back them up.
Shreyas said that, we do not need to change our approach in any way. Check out our batting lineup where there is no shortage of power hitters. We had a strategy as it was necessary to follow because before the World Cup all the options have to be seen, which is right for us. In this match, Rishabh was sent up for batting and Shreyas came at number five, he said that it is not a matter of concern as we have to be a bit flexible about the batting order. I did not change my batting. It was just a matter of thinking and I tried to bat according to the situation.
Let me tell you that Virat Kohli did not give Rohit Sharma a chance in the playing XI in the first match and all three top batsmen of Team India could not do anything. While Shikhar Dhawan was out for four runs, KL Rahul was dismissed by one run, while Virat Kohli could not even open the account. May it be Shreyas Iyer who scored 63 and the team's score reached 124 runs.
