India captain Shreyas Iyer acknowledged that his team fell well below expectations in every department after England wrapped up the T20I series with a commanding nine-wicket victory.
Leading India's batting effort with an unbeaten 80, Iyer guided his side to 158 for 7, but the total proved far from enough as England chased it down in just 13.5 overs to secure the series.
"Again it was a disappointing one. 158 wasn't the perfect total on the board. Eventually we saw how quickly they chased it down. When we came onto bowl I just asked the bowlers to repeat the lengths as much as possible.
"Top of middle and leg was difficult to score off. We fell short on our execution."
Although satisfied with his individual contribution, Iyer admitted the innings offered little consolation because it did not help India win.
"Definitely happy with my performance, but see, if it's not on the winning cause, it just goes to the side. So disappointed on that aspect because whenever I play, I want to perform and see to it that my team wins. But unfortunately, today wasn't that day. Definitely look forward in the next game."
Reflecting on the team's recent struggles, Iyer described the current Indian side as being in a rebuilding phase and expressed confidence that the players would improve through experience.
"This is a transition phase and we will be making mistakes. Have to realise how important it is to adapt. I'm sure there are quick-learners in the team and they will assess themselves."
England captain Harry Brook, meanwhile, attributed his side's dominant display to their ability to adjust to the conditions and the effective communication between the coaching staff and players.
"That was good fun tonight. Always good to beat India. To beat them 3-0 with one game to go... very happy," Brook said.
"Two things stand out for sure - the way we've adapted to the surface and the communication from the coaches to the players and vice-versa. These two things have stood out."
Brook also singled out fast bowlers Jofra Archer and Josh Tongue for laying the foundation for England's victory with another impressive bowling performance.
"Jofra and Tongue again, like a house on fire. Will be pretty cool to be world No.1 - definitely an aim for us. Felt good (with the bat)."
England now have the opportunity to complete a clean sweep when the teams meet in Southampton on Saturday. A 4-0 series result would also see England replace world champions India at the top of the T20I rankings.
