Shreyas Iyer’s batting stats as India T20I captain: Full record

Shreyas Iyer struggled during India's pursuit of 181 in the second T20I against New Zealand, contributing only seven runs before being bowled by Mitchell Santner. This dismissal left the visitors in a difficult position at 69/4, following earlier exits by Sanju Samson, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, and Abhishek Sharma.

Despite this recent low score, Iyer maintains a career average of 33.63 as captain, having accumulated 639 runs across 23 matches, including a century against the West Indies and a gold-medal run at the 2026 Asian Games.

New Zealand had initially faltered after losing the toss, slipping to 41/3 as Arshdeep Singh, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Prince Yadav claimed early wickets. However, a 116-run partnership between Glenn Phillips, who struck 70, and Bevon Jacobs, who added 50, allowed the hosts to recover and set a competitive target.
