**Nottingham, England:** India suffered their first defeat in the five-match T20I series against England, losing the third match by 26 runs. Despite the loss, India still holds a 2-1 series lead. Following the match, Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav attributed the defeat to batting shortcomings.
Chasing a 172-run target, India managed only 145/9. Yadav stated, “We need to learn from this, especially in our batting. We need to go back to the drawing board and learn from our mistakes.” He also expressed confidence in Mohammed Shami’s future performance and praised Varun Chakravarthy’s dedication and consistent improvement.
Yadav acknowledged the impact of England’s Adil Rashid, highlighting his ability to prevent India from rotating the strike effectively. He also noted the dew’s potential influence on the match’s later stages and felt that the game was within India’s grasp until Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel’s dismissals. Despite the loss, Yadav emphasized the team’s continuous learning process from each T20 match.
