For the first time in the history of Indian cricket… Shreyas Iyer became the unluckiest captain in the first four matches, made a shameful record.

New Delhi. The Indian cricket team is currently on a tour of England, where a 5-match T20 series is being played. The second match of the series was played at Old Trafford, Manchester, in which India lost by four wickets. Besides, India has also lagged behind in the series by 0-1. This defeat also registered an unwanted record in the name of Shreyas Iyer as captain. In fact, for the first time in the history of Indian cricket, a captain has proved to be so ‘unlucky’ in his first four T20 International matches that he did not get a single win. Iyer took over the full-time captaincy of the Indian T20 team from the Ireland tour. India played two matches in Ireland, where for the first time the team had to face a clean sweep in the series. After this, the first match against England was canceled due to rain. As captain, Iyer had come to Manchester to play the fourth match.

Unwanted record made in first 4 matches only
Shreyas Iyer is the 12th player in India’s T20 International history to captain at least 3 or more matches, but in the list of these 12 captains, Iyer has become the only captain who has failed to win even a single match in his first four matches. This very bad and unfortunate journey of captaincy has registered Iyer in the pages of history with a record which, even without wanting to, is raising questions on his leadership ability. Only after seeing his strong captaincy in the IPL, the selectors appointed him as the new T20 captain of India, but hardly anyone would have thought that it would be such a beginning. This can only be called bad luck.

Such a shameful performance for the first time after the year 2021
Under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, the Indian team’s losing streak is not limited to just one match. India has lost three consecutive T20 international matches. This is the first time after the year 2021 that the Indian team has faced a crushing defeat in three consecutive T20 matches. This hat-trick of defeats has given a big blow to the morale of the team.

England created history against India
The performance of the Indian bowlers in this match played in Manchester was very disappointing. India had set a big target of 191 runs for England, but the Indian bowling under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer completely failed to defend this target. This is the biggest target successfully chased by England against India in the history of T20 International cricket. Earlier in the year 2012, England had chased the target of 178 runs against India at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, which was their best.
