The last month of international cricket has not been as expected for the Indian team as they suffered a string of defeats in both the T20 International and ODI formats. In T20, Team India’s start under new captain Shreyas Iyer has been nothing short of a nightmare in which, having played two series so far, they have failed to win a single match. The Indian team now has to play a three-match T20 series on the tour of Zimbabwe starting July 23, in which the Indian team cannot make a mistake and generally take the host lightly. Something similar came out from the statement of Tilak Verma, the current vice-captain of Team India in this format, in which he clearly said that Zimbabwe is a very good team and plays excellent cricket in which they won the first match against us in the series last year.
Zimbabwe are a very strong team at home.
Tilak Verma, speaking at a post-training press conference on July 21 ahead of the start of the three-match T20 series against Zimbabwe, said Zimbabwe are a very strong team at home and they have played well in the last one year. In this situation, we fully hope that he will give us serious competition in this series. When asked about the conditions there, Tilak said that the wickets were good last time, so I spoke to Vaibhav Suryavanshi because when we played Zimbabwe last year, our junior team came. Many people from this team have still arrived. I was telling Vaibhav how the wicket would behave. If you look at the fields, they are very big, windy and cold.
Tilak defends Shreyas Iyer
After losing two consecutive series in T20 Internationals, Shreyas Iyer faced a lot of criticism as captain. In such a situation, before the start of the series against Zimbabwe, Tilak defended Shreyas and said that he was still the captain of a successful team. If you look at our schedule over the last two years, we have played most of the series in Asia. In such a situation, two years later we found ourselves directly in foreign conditions, and against a good team in which England gave us very tough competition in the semi-final of the T20 World Cup, in which it is very difficult to play against a good team in good conditions.
