Shreyas Iyer Sets Record for Most Toss Wins in First 12 T20I Matches as India Captain
Shreyas Iyer, captain of India's T20I cricket team since June 2026, set a new record by winning 11 out of 12 tosses, surpassing previous leaders from Qatar and the Philippines. His first series win as captain came against Zimbabwe, and India currently leads 1-0 in the ongoing series against Afghanistan. Among full-member nations, Iyer's toss wins exceed those of England's Eoin Morgan and Bangladesh's Mahmudullah. The record was achieved during the second T20I at Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi.
