India are defeated and deflated now. But skipper Rohit Sharma on Wednesday said only "time will tell" how the crushing loss at Edgbaston impacts the side in the long run.
India let slip a golden opportunity to record their first series win in England since 2007 as the hosts, in an incredible turnaround, recorded their highest-ever run chase in Test cricket. "It's obviously disappointing to not come out as victors.
The Test series was for India to win. That said, time will tell whether that loss will have any impact in the T20I and ODI series against England," Rohit said on the eve of the first T20I. "That was a different format and this will be a different one," Rohit, who missed the rescheduled COVID-delayed Test after contracting the viral infection, added.
Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow scored majestic centuries as England pulled off a convincing seven-wicket win over India in Birmingham on Tuesday.
