We have to go to the dressing room and learn a lesson. There is no doubt about our decision in terms of planning. If we look outside the field, things are going well. We did not follow the plans properly. We cannot blame our bowlers. The score was so small. We have to work on our batting.
No excuse will work
Shreyas Iyer also said that the bounce was different in all the matches here. He also said that we cannot give any kind of excuse because we are professionals and we have to live according to it.
