'Not really surprised': Ex-India cricketer on shock Ireland defeat, explains why

Former Indian cricketer Ambati Rayudu explained India's surprising T20I series loss to Ireland by pointing to inadequate preparation for the challenging conditions after the IPL, where players struggled to adjust from flat pitches. Rayudu also advocated for patience with young debutant Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, emphasizing the importance of learning over immediate success. With England's better batting conditions on the horizon, there's hope the team will bounce back, but this defeat underscores the need for better adaptation strategies post-IPL.
