Shreyas Iyer to Lead India in T20I Series Against New Zealand Amid Mixed Form
Shreyas Iyer will captain India in a five-match T20I series against New Zealand starting in Christchurch. While Iyer has shown inconsistency as a batsman since becoming captain, he has performed well against New Zealand, including a strong cross-format record and a century in the 2023 World Cup semifinal. Recently, he was India's top scorer in the home series against West Indies, highlighted by his maiden T20I century. Iyer aims to regain consistent form in this upcoming series.
