India captain Shreyas Iyer blamed heavy dew and a batting-friendly pitch after India's six-wicket defeat to West Indies, in remarks published on October 10, 2026.
Iyer made the comments despite India having scored 249.
He praised Shai Hope and Sherfane Rutherford for their match-winning partnership. Hope, who was unbeaten on 102, said partnerships and calculated risks were crucial to completing the challenging chase after West Indies lost two early wickets.
