Shreyas Iyer Sets Multiple Records as India’s T20I Captain Against England
Shreyas Iyer, India's T20I captain since June 2026, has set multiple records during the ongoing five-match series against England. He became the first captain worldwide to win the toss in each of his first six T20I matches and the first to score multiple 50-plus innings in a bilateral T20I series in England. Iyer also equaled Virat Kohli's highest score by an Indian captain against England with an unbeaten 80 and surpassed Suryakumar Yadav's record for most runs in a bilateral T20I series in England. Despite these achievements, India seeks its first win under his captaincy in the series.
