‘Atrocious, awful’: Shreyas Iyer after India suffer biggest T20I defeat in abject surrender to England, remain winless

With this, India remain winless on their UK tour as the start to Shreyas Iyer's tenure as T20I captain goes from bad to worse. The skipper admitted India were "atrocious" and said individuals needed to take responsibility after the heavy defeat on Tuesday. After conceding 200 on a belter of a surface, India's batters were at sixes and sevens against the pace-bowling duo of Josh Tongue and Jofra Archer, who combined to claim seven wickets.

“It was atrocious. Losing by such a big margin isn't acceptable. First things first, we have to accept this loss and go back to the drawing board. It wasn't a 200- wicket. Losing four in the Powerplay didn't create momentum; we lost it there. You can plan a lot, once you come into the ground, you have to adapt, figure out lengths. Hard lengths helped, we didn't execute,” Iyer said after the match.

“When you're chasing, you have to set patterns and our execution was off. Great opportunity to come back strong. We've played awful cricket but lots to learn as well. Players have to figure out ways to create impact. Every individual has to work on creating impact and taking responsibility,” added Iyer.
