India vs England: Ever since Shreyas Iyer took over the captaincy in T20I, it seems as if Team India has forgotten to win. The team is still waiting for its first win under the captaincy of Iyer. This is when Team India has played 4 T20s under the captaincy of Iyer. Two of these T20 matches were played against Ireland, which had never defeated India before. But that record was also broken under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer. For the first time, Ireland made a clean sweep of the series by defeating India in both T20 matches played at home. Even when Team India reached England from Ireland, the situation has not changed. Here too, Team India is waiting for victory after the first 2 matches of the 5 T20 series. Now there is a fear that another defeat might make Team India a partner in a shameful record.
The third match of the 5 T20 series between India and England is to be played in Nottingham. If Team India loses this match under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, then it will be the first time in the history of T20I that it will finish 5 consecutive T20 matches without a win.
Before this, in the last 4 T20I matches played under the captaincy of Iyer, India has lost 3, while 1 match has been inconclusive. With this figure, this is the first time in the last 5 years that Team India has not been able to win even one after playing 4 consecutive T20s.
Now the question is whether Team India will be able to avoid its defeat in Nottingham, where the third T20 between India and England is going to be played? If we look at the statistics, so far only one T20 match has been played between India and England in Nottingham. That high-scoring match played in 2022 was won by England by 17 runs. This means that after 4 years again a T20 team India will play against England in Nottingham. But to break the losing streak, Shreyas Iyer and Company will have to change history. They have to play better cricket.
