BCCI said- serious about the performance

Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Secretary Devjit Saikia has expressed concern over the performance of the team. He said that after the end of the England tour, a review meeting will be held with captain Shreyas Iyer and head coach Gautam Gambhir. In the meeting, the reasons for the defeat will be analyzed and a strategy will be prepared to overcome the shortcomings of the team.

Indian team could not save even 158 runs

After winning the toss and batting first, India scored 158 runs for 7 wickets in 20 overs. Captain Shreyas Iyer played a brilliant inning of 80 not out off 49 balls, but other batsmen could not support him, due to which the team failed to score a big score. Chasing the target of 159, England got off to a shaky start when Arshdeep Singh sent Jos Buttler to the pavilion in the third over. After this, Harry Brook and Phil Salt put pressure on the Indian bowlers. Brook scored unbeaten 79 runs in 35 balls and Salt scored unbeaten 59 runs. There was a century partnership between the two and England achieved the target in just 13.5 overs and won the match by nine wickets.
