However, Captain Hardik Pandya argued that it is important to lose occasionally because it can help you learn a lot. Indian cricketers did well to overcome losses in the first two games of their five-match T20I series against the West Indies. Ultimately, the ‘Men in Blue’ were defeated by the Rovman Powell-led team in the fifth T20I to win the series 3-2 on Sunday, August 13. For Indian fans, losing the series to a side that has had severe difficulties recently in all formats will be a terrible pill to swallow. He was also proud of the team’s commitment to fighting when things got rough and hoped they would learn from the experience to become better in the future.
“We have ample time to determine how T20s are supposed to be played. Losing can occasionally be advantageous since it teaches you a lot. It does not erase the mistakes you make, but on the plus side, I believe we have all learned a lot as a team. Special mention goes to the guys, Hardik was cited as saying by cricketmood.
To be very honest, they dedicated themselves, kind of took the challenge on themselves [on Sunday] when we were two down, and they displayed character throughout the entire series. Yes, it appeared to be a pretty one-sided game today, but despite that, they continued to play, keep a grin on their faces, and keep trying since both winning and losing are part of the process. Simply put, we must concentrate on learning as well, he said.
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Varma, and Mukesh Kumar impressed as debutants under Hardik Pandya.
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Varma, and Mukesh Kumar were all making their series debuts, and 29-year-old Hardik was pleased with how they performed. When the team most needed them, they raised their hands, and he commended them for having confidence in their talents.
They have heart, which is fantastic. In terms of international cricket, that is something that is crucial. Although every young person that is emerging is displaying character—you cited Jaiswal, Tilak, and Mukesh—they are not the only ones. They genuinely believe it. I’ve noticed that rather frequently lately. Well done for coming out, expressing oneself, and accepting the responsibility. As captain, I couldn’t be happier that every player is coming up and raising their hands and saying, “You know what I mean.” Hardik said
Suryakumar Yadav shone with a 45-ball 61 as India scored 165/9 after electing to bat first. The West Indies defeated him by eight wickets with two overs remaining, thanks to Brandon King’s unbeaten 55-ball 85.
