Team India Under Shreyas Iyer: Captain Shreyas Iyer seems to not know what it means to win? That’s why you are defaming Team India sir. A new problem after every match. Now the situation is such that what had not happened in Indian cricket for 7 years, was also seen. This happened after another defeat against England in Bristol. Team India not only lost the fourth T20 by 9 wickets but also lost the series along with it. With this, this is the second time in the last 7 years that Team India has lost two consecutive T20 series. Before England, Team India had also lost the first T20 series played against Ireland under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer.
Captain Shreyas Iyer repeated 7 years old history
The last time this happened with Team India was in the year 2019, when it lost back to back T20 series. Then, under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, they first lost the T20 series against New Zealand at home and then lost against Australia on home soil. The same 7 year old record has been equaled under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer.
Shreyas Iyer is the first Indian captain to make this bad record.
However, a lot more has happened under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer. Like Team India has lost a T20 series against England after 12 years. Not only was this record broken, Shreyas Iyer has also become the first Indian captain to lose the maximum number of 5 consecutive T20 matches. Earlier this record was in the name of MS Dhoni, who had to lose 4 consecutive T20 matches in 2009 and 2014-15.
It took Suryakumar 2 years and Iyer only 2 weeks!
Shreyas Iyer has been made the T20 captain of Team India in place of Suryakumar Yadav. But, it took 2 years for Suryakumar Yadav to face 5 defeats as captain, whereas Shreyas Iyer faced the same number of defeats within a span of 2 weeks after becoming the captain.
