Deviation / Discrepancy - Procedural Clearance; Ground Incursion Taxiway
Air Traffic Control Issued New Clearance
Environment - Non Weather Related; Human Factors
We were given a taxi instruction from Gate X to Runway XXL via 'Romeo; Yankee; Uniform; Kilo cross [Runway] Y; to XXL' but we taxied Romeo to Yankee; taxied on Y past Uniform (apparently missed it) and crossed [Runway] Y at Yankee. The ZZZ Ground Controller caught our mistake and gave us amended clearance to XXL via 'Victor to Kilo; Kilo to XXL.'I believe I simply misheard the Ground Control clearance; because I briefed the taxi route as I executed it; and I believe the FO repeated it to Ground without anyone questioning it. It was only questioned after we crossed Runway Y; and the Controller realized we were not on K but on Y taxiway. So; either I simply misheard; or I was tired and did not catch the error; and the FO did not catch it either. Either way; my error.This shows how easy it is to get a clearance wrong; especially when you have not flown into a particular hub airport in nearly a year. It points out how we have to stay extra vigilant; especially in these COVID-19 times; because crews are not flying as much; and ATC controllers are handling multiple sectors/tasks; so even if one repeats the clearance the way you believe it is; the ATC Controller may not catch the error.
Air carrier Captain reported miscommunication with ATC resulted in a taxiway incursion during taxi-out.
