“This is not just Shreyas Iyer’s fault”. Former cricketer urges India to ‘deal with elephant in room’ after Ireland humiliation | Cricket News:
India’s disappointing 2-0 T20I series loss against Ireland has sparked criticism from the former batsman Manoj Tiwarywho asked who was responsible for the poor performance of the team. Despite entering the series as the two-time defending T20 champions, India struggled with the conditions and failed to deliver with the bat in both matches.Tiwary suggested that the focus should not only be on the captain Shreyas Iyerwho was examined after the defeat. However, he argued that the team’s management and support staff, led by the head coach Gautam Gambhirmust also be responsible for the result.Speaking in a video posted on his X account, Tiwary raised concerns about what he described as the “elephant in the room” and questioned why the role of management was not discussed after losing the series.“India can go on to win the World Cup in South Africa. But what about the T20I series lost against Ireland? Who can be responsible for this? I told you to talk about the elephant in the room, but no one believed my words. I know that the PR agencies and friends of the so-called decision maker will start pointing the blame at Shreyas Iyer,” said Manoj Tiwary.The former India batsman stressed that the defeat was a collective failure and warned against singling out Iyer for criticism. According to Tiwary, the entire batting unit is struggling, and the role of the coaching staff also needs to be reviewed.“It is not only Shreyas Iyer’s fault as a batter, but it is also the fault of other batters who did not perform.
