No one had expected the kind of recent performance of the Indian team, which is also the current T20 World Cup winner, during the tour of Ireland and England. Shreyas Iyer was made the new captain of Team India in this format in place of Suryakumar Yadav, after which it was expected that Team India would be able to continue its dominance in the future also. However, quite the opposite was seen where Team India has not been able to win even a single one of the last 7 matches. With the Indian team losing by 56 runs in the last match of the five-match T20 series against England, they also lost the number-1 position in the ICC T20 team rankings. With this defeat, Shreyas Iyer’s name got included in such a shameful list in which no Indian captain was a part earlier. For the first time, Team India has faced defeat in four matches in any T20 series or tournament.
Shreyas Iyer became the fourth captain not to win a single match in 7 matches.
In T20 International, Shreyas Iyer is the fourth captain among full members teams under whose leadership his team has not won a single match in the first 7 T20 matches. Iyer started his captaincy in this format in international cricket with a 2-match T20 series against Ireland, losing both the matches. After this, after the first match of the 5-match T20 series against England was washed out due to rain, Team India faced defeat in the next four matches.
