Mumbai: Former India player Ambati Rayudu is not surprised by the team's 0-2 loss to Ireland as he believes that Shreyas Iyer and his men were under-prepared for the assignment, a case in point being finisher Tilak Varma's inability to get going on slower wickets.
Speaking exclusively to PTI, Rayudu, who played 55 ODIs and six T20Is for India, said the change in conditions after the IPL became too difficult for the reigning T20 world champions, who lost the second T20I by a mere one run on Sunday in Belfast.
