India’s struggle under the leadership of Iyer
India’s new T20I era has not started as expected. After winning the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 earlier this year, the Men in Blue travel to the UK under new captain Shreyas Iyer.
However, India lost both T20 matches against Ireland and the hosts secured a historic 2โ0 series win. The first T20 match against England also yielded no result as the game was abandoned due to rain after India’s innings in Durham.
India had scored 189/7 and Shreyas Iyer played a brilliant inning of 68 runs in 47 balls. He became the first Indian T20I captain to score a half-century on English soil. Meanwhile, Vaibhav Suryavanshi is unhappy at Manchester Nets as Gautam Gambhir is facing the heat.
Why did BCCI remove Suryakumar Yadav from the post of T20I captain despite the World Cup win?
The BCCI on June 6 announced the squad for the tours of Ireland and England and the 2026 Asian Games in Japan, making a captaincy change with Iyer appointed as India’s new T20I captain.
Even though Suryakumar Yadav led India to the T20 World Cup title at the beginning of the year, his poor form with the bat forced the selectors to take a difficult decision. After a poor T20 World Cup 2026 campaign, his struggles continued in IPL 2026, where he could only score 270 runs at an average of 20.76 for Mumbai Indians.
The 35-year-old not only lost the captaincy, but was also dropped from India’s T20 team altogether. The selection committee wanted to start a new chapter with a new captain as part of its long-term plans for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics and the 2028 T20 World Cup.
Shreyas Iyer’s IPL success earns him India’s T20 captaincy
Shreyas Iyer got the captaincy after making an impressive record as a leader in the IPL. He led Kolkata Knight Riders to the IPL 2024 title and later led Punjab Kings to the IPL 2025 final. Earlier, the Mumbaikar had also led Delhi Capitals to the final of IPL 2020.
He also impressed with the bat in IPL 2026, scoring 498 runs at a strike rate of 168.81, which helped him return to India’s T20I squad after a long gap. BCCI has also made Tilak Verma the vice-captain.
