India Faces Consecutive T20I Series Defeats Under Shreyas Iyer's Captaincy
India's T20I team, under new captain Shreyas Iyer, has suffered consecutive bilateral series defeats for the first time since 2019, losing 0-2 to Ireland and trailing 0-3 against England. The recent England series included a record 125-run loss and a nine-wicket defeat, extending India's winless streak to four matches. Iyer, despite a 100% toss win rate, is yet to secure a victory as captain. These results mark several unwanted records and raise concerns about the team's form and leadership.
