Shreyas Iyer doesn't hold back after England carnage, rues India's bowling and costly dropped catches

After Phil Salt's early dismissal, Buttler and Brook went berserk, smashing Arshdeep Singh for 15 runs in the fifth over, followed by Prince Yadav leaking 17 in the sixth. The pair once again went after Prince in the ninth over, clobbering him for 13 runs, followed by a 25-run blitz against Axar Patel in the tenth.

Meanwhile, Buttler slammed 131 runs off 64 balls, packed with 12 fours and eight sixes. Brook remained unbeaten with a 45-ball 95*, smashing four fours and eight maximums.

Hailing their record partnership, Iyer said, "Yes, I think it was sensational batting by Buttler. And then Harry came in and he changed the momentum towards them. So that partnership definitely steadied the ship for them. And we dropped a couple of catches. I think that could have changed the rhythm of the game. But nonetheless, great learning. And I'm sure that boys would be aware next time when they come here."

On his lessons from the series, Iyer said, "There's a lot to take out, honestly speaking. Firstly, the conditions, the awareness, the adaptation to the wickets. I feel that every ground we played at, this was probably the best wicket we played on so far. So you saw even when we batted today, the approach was completely different. And it's all about adaptation, I feel. The conditions changed, kept changing right from match one. But yeah, as professionals, we need to learn and be aware of all these conditions."
