5 culprits including the captain… due to which the World Champions were put to shame, the biggest ‘blot’ on Team India

New Delhi. Ireland cricket team created history by winning the series against Team India for the first time. This is no less than a big ‘spot’ in Indian cricket. The team which had never been able to defeat India in an international match, won the series today. Playing on their home ground, Ireland, captained by Lorcan Tucker, made a clean sweep of India in the two-match T20 series. The current world champion Indian team lost both the matches while chasing runs. With this, India’s 16 consecutive T20 series winning streak also came to an end. In the second T20, the Indian batting lineup full of explosive batsmen could not even achieve the target of 155 runs. The shameful performance of many players was the real reason for India’s condition. Let us know about 5 such players…

Shreyas Iyer was a complete flop
Shreyas Iyer, who came to play T20 series as captain for the first time, proved to be a complete flop in batting. In the first match, only three runs came from his bat, whereas in the second match he could score only 10 runs. Iyer, who returned to the Indian T20 team after scoring a lot of runs in the IPL, was expected to perform brilliantly as a batsman, but he was not successful in doing so.

No runs came from Samson’s bat
Opener batsman Sanju Samson was also like Shreyas Iyer. This explosive batsman, who ensured India’s victory with his stormy batting in the knockout matches of T20 World Cup 2026, scored only 5 runs in two matches. He scored these runs in the first match, because in the second T20 he was not even successful in opening the account. Jai Mundhra of Indian origin dismissed Samson on the very first ball.

Ishaan also did not look in color
Ishan Kishan, who batted at number three, was also in bad shape with his bat. He added a total of 13 runs in both the matches. After getting out after scoring only one run in the first match, this wicketkeeper batsman tried to get back into rhythm by hitting fours in the second T20, but after scoring 12 runs, Jai Mundra showed him the way to the pavilion. Ishaan scored these runs facing 11 balls. Overall, the failure of the Indian batsmen was the major reason for this series defeat.

Shameful performance of these two players too
There was a shameful performance of two players in the first match, where the story of India losing the series started with the defeat. These two names are Washington Sundar and Prasidh Krishna. Sundar bowled only one over in the first match and gave away 19 runs. Not only this, he did not look effective with the bat also. He lost his wicket while batting very slowly for 9 runs in 12 balls. Apart from these, Prasidh Krishna bowled an expensive spell and gave away 57 runs without a wicket in four overs. Both these players were definitely dropped from the playing-11 of the second match, but unfortunately the result did not change and Ireland won the historic series.
