Captain Shreyas Iyer also seemed satisfied with the team's performance. So let us know what captain Shreyas Iyer said after the end of the match…

Shreyas Iyer praised the bowlers

Team India won the toss and decided to bowl in the first T-20 match. Where, the Afghanistan team, which came to bat first, scored 156 runs at the loss of 8 wickets in 20 overs. At the same time, due to the brilliant batting of Abhishek Sharma, the Indian team, which came to chase the target, achieved the target in just the 14th over and won by 7 wickets.

Indian bowlers showed their strength. Jasprit Bumrah, who returned from injury, bowled an economical spell, taking one wicket for 26 runs. At the same time, Arshdeep Singh took 3 wickets for just 19 runs. Akshar Patel and Varun Chakraborty took 1 wicket each. When Shreyas Iyer was asked in the post match presentation that he would be very happy because the bowling performance was excellent.

On this Iyer said, “Yes, absolutely. I am thankful for that and everyone worked together for success and as I said earlier, Bumrah is a very important player for the team and he got a good start, which created momentum for all the bowlers who came later. Arshdeep also bowled brilliantly, and the way Akshar and Varun bowled after him, it was really a tremendous effort.”

Gave reaction even after giving 20th over to Shivam Dubey

Shivam Dubey came to bowl the 20th over against Afghanistan's innings. He bowled an expensive over, in which Afghanistan's batsmen scored 21 runs with 2 sixes and 2 fours. However, after the match was over, captain Shreyas Iyer told that he had no options for the 20th over.

Could you have done something different in the last over, or did you have no other option? In response to this, captain Shreyas Iyer said, “To be honest, there was no option and you saw that even for Dubey, it was a bit difficult to bowl the 20th over because he had no idea about the speed of the pitch and the behavior of the ball. So yes, I thought he would perform well at that time, but it's okay because it is a game of cricket and I am sure he will think about what things he needs to work on.”

Captain praised Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan

While chasing the target of 157 runs, Abhishek Sharma was out after scoring 82 runs in 32 balls with the help of 7 fours and 7 sixes. So there, Ishan Kishan added 42 runs with the help of 5 fours and 1 six in 33 balls. Captain Shreyas Iyer looked very happy with his brilliant batting.

Talking about the batting of Ishan Kishan and Abhishek Sharma in the post match presentation, he said, “Yes, talking about Abhishek, I think the shots he played were phenomenal and some of them were brilliant. But talking about Ishan, yes, he is in tremendous form right now and the way he carries himself in the dressing room and also on the field during practice sessions, it seems that he is very calm and relaxed, and he has a good understanding of his game. So it is very good for us as a team.”
