'There were a lot of positives': Shreyas Iyer on 'rough' England tour, urges fearless approach in Zimbabwe

India captain Shreyas Iyer called the white-ball tour of England and Ireland a 'rough patch' but said there were 'a lot of positives' that built team awareness and adaptability.

Iyer urged his young squad to embrace an attacking mindset and not fear failure, saying fear leads to playing defensively.

The team is set to face Zimbabwe in a three-match T20I series starting Thursday, with Iyer warning against underestimating the experienced Zimbabwe squad.

Iyer said the difficult results in England brought the squad closer together and led to more discussions about playing as a unit.
