Indian captain Shreyas Iyer praised England's outstanding performance in the fifth T20I match in Southampton, while stressing that losing wickets in 'clusters' was the major reason behind India's defeat.
During the post-match presentation, the skipper analysed his team's modified batting strategy while attempting to chase down a huge target of 258. He pointed out that errors on the field heavily dented India's chances, while giving credit to English batsman Jos Buttler and their captain Harry Brook for turning the tide of the contest.
