Shreyas Iyer’s rocky start becomes the worst ever for an Indian T20I captain
What was meant to signal a fresh chapter for Indian T20 cricket has instead turned into one of its most turbulent beginnings. Shreyas Iyer took over the reins from Suryakumar Yadav with hopes of building on India’s World Cup triumph, but that transition has proven far rockier than anyone anticipated.
Six completed matches into his captaincy across tours of Ireland and England, Iyer remains without a single win. That record extends India’s losing run with a 56-run defeat in Southampton.
The result also cost India their number one spot in the T20I team rankings, handing the top position over to England.
