BCCI to review T20I series loss to England:Gambhir’s coaching, Shreyas Iyer’s captaincy under scrutiny; India winless after T20 WC

The BCCI is set to review the Indian team’s performance following the T20 series loss against England. Head coach Gautam Gambhir’s role and the team’s strategy will be part of this review, as will Shreyas Iyer’s captaincy. News agency ANI reported this, citing sources. According to the report, following consecutive poor performances against Ireland and England, the board aims to identify shortcomings in strategy and team selection. While no decision has been made regarding Gambhir and Iyer yet, a review of their work is considered inevitable. Gambhir’s contract runs until 2027, and Iyer was appointed captain only recently. The Indian team suffered a 0-2 clean sweep during the tour of Ireland. Meanwhile, they are trailing 0-3 in the five-match T20 series against England; one match ended in a ‘no result,’ and the team lost the fourth match by nine wickets just a day ago. England defeated India after 12 years For the first time since 2014, England defeated India in a T20I series. So far, 10 series have been played between the two teams. India has won 5, and England has won 4 of these, while one series ended in a draw. India lose back-to-back T20I series under Iyer’s captaincy BCCI recently handed over the captaincy to Shreyas Iyer in place of T20 World Cup-winning captain Suryakumar Yadav. However, this decision has not gone in favour of the team so far. India has lost its second consecutive T20 series. Before the England tour, the team had lost the series 2-0 against Ireland, which was India’s first T20 series loss against Ireland. England wrapped up the chase in just 13.5 overs in Bristol In the fourth T20, India batted first and scored 158 runs for 7 wickets in 20 overs. Captain Shreyas Iyer scored an unbeaten 80 runs off 49 balls, but the other batsmen could not make a significant contribution. In response, England achieved the target of 159 runs in 13.5 overs, losing just one wicket. Captain Harry Brook scored 79 runs off 35 balls, and Phil Salt scored 59 runs off 42 balls. With this win, England won a bilateral T20 series of two or more matches against India for the first time. India’s performance in the T20I series vs England The first match of the series was inconclusive due to rain. In the second T20, India lost by 4 wickets. Chasing a target of 201 runs in the third match, the entire team was all-out for 76 runs and lost by 125 runs. With a 9-wicket loss in the fourth match, India also lost the series. Now, in the final T20, India will try to avoid a clean sweep, while England will be looking for a 4-0 lead. India also lost to Ireland for the first time ever Before England, India also faced defeat in a 2-match T20 series against Ireland. With this, the Indian team had faced defeat in a T20 series after 2023. In 2023, West Indies had defeated them 3-2.
