After 15th (16th) over, momentum went away,\u201d Iyer, who is yet to win a single game as India skipper, said at the post-match presentation.<\/p>\n<p>When he was asked about Bishnoi\u2019s no-ball problems, he predictably defended the under-fire bowler.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think he\u2019ll come back stronger. The game got away in the 17th over&#8230; he\u2019ll have to learn. It was a phenomenal score on this track; Tilak\u2019s phenomenal 24 not out in the final over. But we have to give credit where its due, watching Bethell, he definitely took on the bowlers,\u201d Iyer said.<\/p>\n<p>The skipper was all praise for 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who made his debut as the youngest India international.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think he\u2019s got that unflinching attitude&#8230; It\u2019s just sensational to watch. I wasn\u2019t anticipating him to be nervous as he has played sensational cricket during last couple of months and years. He definitely stepped up to the occasion, pleasing to the eye.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>England skipper Harry Brook was confident that the team will get the runs as it knew that one side of the boundary was really short and one could hit into the wind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the wind and dimensions of the ground, we knew we could chase it. We were happy where we were after the PowerPlay. The way Bethell played was phenomenal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brook himself took 27 off Arshdeep Singh to set the tone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think you\u2019ve got to try and maximise the PowerPlay as well as you can. All our batters have shown innovation; can hit all around the ground.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He couldn\u2019t stop praising Bethell for his unbeaten 76 off 46 balls.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s an awesome talent out there, rallies the troops well in the field. He\u2019s so mature for his age. He\u2019s got a long career ahead of him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bethell, on his part, gave credit to his skipper for the first assault.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt worked out well in the end. Just going into bat, two down, Brooky set the momentum, made it easy for me. Everyone just kept chipping in. In those kinds of chases, you don\u2019t go rapid the whole time. Two big overs and the game swings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the Bishnoi over, Bethell said that he was lucky although he hit towards the longer boundary end.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I\u2019m honest, I would have targetted the other end, my leg side with the wind, but you know, free hits, bowler\u2019s down, and you take it on. The thing with playing on different dimensions is one side might be easier to hit sixes, but you can also score runs hitting it into the bigger gaps. We were good with that as a team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"publish-time\" id=\"end-of-article\">Published on Jul 05, 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sportstar.thehindu.com\/cricket\/shreyas-iyer-defends-ravi-bishnoi-expensive-spell-india-vs-england-2nd-t20i\/article71185093.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Skipper Shreyas Iyer was understandably irate but refused to blame leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi for his 29-run over that turned the tide in his side\u2019s four-wicket defeat to England in the second T20I, here on Saturday.
