India’s amateurish performance sees England win series 0-3, Shreyas Iyer & Gautam Gambhir under scanner

Image
It was professionals versus schoolboys in Bristol. Two multiple-time T20 World Cup champions were facing off. But it never looked like that. There was no match at the County Ground on July 9; it was a mismatch. India wasn’t playing England; they were playing catch-up the entire time. Amateurish batting 3 overs in, India was behind in the game. In fact, at no point could one say England wouldn’t win. Jofra Archer showed everyone that he’s got Vaibhav Sooryavanshi figured out. That he has trouble against back-of-the-length and short deliveries on pitches with enough pace and bounce.

Ishan Kishan, who’s averaged 13.17 during the UK tour, was found out as well. Like his 15-year-old tea...

World No. 1 Ishan Kishan at centre of India’s mindless slogging in England

This has been a sorry tour from India in England. After coming on the back of a historic series loss to Ireland, the Indian team has been a shadow of what we saw of them at the T20 World Cup 2026. Under Shreyas Iyer , the team is yet to script a victory. But more than that, it is unbelievable how poorly the batting group has failed. Although the likes of Abhishek Sharma and captain Iyer have managed to make some runs, Ishan Kishan has been at the epicentre of India’s poor batting in Europe. Kishan’s similar dismissals are painful Ishan Kishan is currently the world’s number one ranked T20I batter . Deservingly so, he has nailed down that number three spot in the Indian T20I side with some remarkable performances. He made a dazzling return just before the T20 World Cup 2026 after taking his state side Jharkhand to a superb Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy win . He made 517 runs at an SR of 197.33 in that tournament. Then, questions were about how he’d play o...

India plummet to all-time T20I low under Shreyas Iyer & Gautam Gambhir, register biggest defeat

The skyscraper India built during the last T20 World Cup cycle has come crashing down. Fresh off a trophy run, with an Indian Premier League ( IPL ) season crammed between, the world champions have now lost 4 of their last 5 matches. It’s the longest stretch without a victory for Team India in T20I cricket. Longest winless streak for India in T20Is 5* – June 2026 – July 2026 (4 defeats, 1 NR) 4 – June 2009 – December 2009 (4 defeats) 4 – July 2021 – October 2021 (4 defeats) Unfortunately, that isn’t all. One can understand that several players are tired or jaded. They’ve been playing non-stop cricket since February. But nothing can justify this result. Shreyas Iyer was looking for his maiden victory as a T20I captain when Team India took the field against England at Trent Bridge on July 7. Well, he’s still searching for it. India didn’t lose but were hammered by Harry Brook’s team in Notti...
