3 changes Shreyas Iyer must make in his T20I captaincy

Shreyas Iyer’s tenure as India’s T20I captain has delivered mixed results since taking over from Suryakumar Yadav in June 2026. Early struggles included back-to-back series losses to Ireland and England, with defeats in Belfast (34 runs and 1 run) marking India’s first T20I losses to Ireland in nine matches.

The England series was particularly tough, with four straight losses by significant margins—4 wickets, 125 runs, 9 wickets, and 56 runs—highlighting gaps in tactical adaptability against top-tier opposition. While Iyer’s side later rebounded with three consecutive series wins—against Zimbabwe, Afghanistan, and at the Asian Games 2026—recent form in the West Indies series (a 2-2 tie after four matches) has reignited questions about his leadership, particularly in high-pressure scenarios and away conditions.
