India Suffers Record 125-Run Defeat to England in Third T20I at Trent BridgePreviousNext

India suffered their heaviest T20I defeat, losing by 125 runs to England in the third match of the five-game series at Trent Bridge. Chasing 202, India were bowled out for 76 in 11.4 overs, extending their winless streak under captain Shreyas Iyer to five matches. Iyer described the performance as "atrocious" and unacceptable, citing early wickets and poor execution as key factors. England's bowlers Josh Tongue and Jofra Archer took seven wickets combined, while England posted 201 runs, led by Phil Salt's 70. Iyer emphasized the need to accept the loss, adapt, and improve ahead of upcoming matches.
