Total surrender by India in England, Shreyas Iyer’s team swept 4-0 | Cricket News

4 min readMumbaiJul 12, 2026 12:08 AM IST For India’s T20 team, the start of a new era was supposed to bring fresh possibilities. Taking the captaincy from Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer was supposed to usher the team into a new direction after the T20 World Cup triumph. The regime change was supposed to be smooth. It has been anything but. Six completed games into Iyer’s captaincy across Ireland and England, India remain without a win, slipping to another defeat, this time by 56 runs in Southampton. With this loss, they have also lost their No. 1 ranking to England. Chasing 258 for a consolation win in the fifth T20I, India needed one of their best batting efforts of the series to avoid a 4-0 defeat. The drama began even before a ball was bowled. Sanju Samson was surprisingly recalled to the playing XI after missing the last three games. He showed his compatriots how to counter the short ball by pulling Josh Tongue twice into the stands in the second over. India needed much …

India lose No 1 T20I ranking after 56-run loss completes 4-0 sweep at hands of England | Cricket News

2 min readUpdated: Jul 11, 2026 11:19 PM IST India succumbed to another T20I defeat at the hands of England to lose the five-match T20I series by a 4-0 margin. Saturday’s loss by 56 runs meant that the Men in Blue are winless under new T20I captain Shreyas Iyer, having lost four matches in England (with one match being a wash out) after two defeats on the tour of Ireland. The twin series sweeps meant that India were overtaken by England as the world’s no 1 T20I team, with India losing the No 1 rank for the first time in four years. India’s struggles on Saturday started even before the toss, after the team was delayed in reaching the stadium due to traffic jam at Southampton. Iyer won another toss, his seventh successive correct call, and opted to bowl first. But at the toss, Iyer made the announcement that Sanju Samson was being brought into the XI in place of 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (who played three games in the series and managed 42 runs). “I …

2 min readJul 11, 2026 12:40 PM IST India vs England 5th T20I predicted playing XI: Smarting from their second consecutive series defeat, Shreyas Iyer’s India will aim to wrap up their T20I tour to England with a win during the fifth and last match at the Rose Bowl in Southampton on Saturday. With injuries and poor form ravaging the batting and bowling departments, India have looked anything but a World Cup-winning outfit throughout the tour. After suffering their biggest-ever defeat by runs (125) in the third T20I in Nottingham, India waged poorly with the bat in the following game in Bristol. Managing only 158 runs, India were thwarted by a powerful England chase led by captain Harry Brook. The defeat marked India’s first-ever T20I series defeat to England in a series that comprised at least two games. With pacer Harshit Rana and Varun Chakaravarthy ruled out of the final match owing to their hamstring injuries, there is not a lot of tinkering that India can afford to do during the final game.

But here are fine of the finest maximums. Over 2.6: Archer to Abhishek One ball earlier he had managed a maximum over point for six. Jofra Archer responded with a 148 kmph and Abhishek made room for himself to be in a position from where he could get the ball at full length. It was a decent ball but the space gave him additional power to generate. He hammered one inside-out to the world’s fastest seamer and got legendary Sunil Gavaskar calling it one of the best shots of the series. The lofted cover drive six left people mesmerised.

The ten thousands that turned up at the Wankhede braving the Sunday traffic were treated to one of the most glorious hundreds in T20Is. The rampaging Abhishek Sharma produced an epic knock, rather a blur of sixes and fours, to fill their hearts. They could have well filed out of the stadium after his masterpiece ended, because there was nothing left to be watched, as his 54-ball 135 set the platform for India to pillage 247 for 9. England, battered and bruised by Abhishek’s onslaught, were shot out for 97 runs in 10.3 overs. But the crowd waited to catch a glimpse of Abhishek again. A hero was born this night and they would treasure him till he collected the awards at the presentation ceremony. He waved them all as he trudged back to the pavilion. An hour ago, the crowd had witnessed a T20 hundred of unreal quality, in what is best described as a celebration of stroke-making. When the milestone moment arrived, a tap down for a single off the 37th ball he …

England captain Jos Buttler on Sunday said that he has 4 impact subs at his disposal in a cheeky dig at India’s use of concussion sub Harshit Rana in the 4th T20I match. “And our four impact subs today are Reham Ahmed, Saqib Mahmood, Jamie Smith and Gus Atkinson,” Buttler said after winning the toss and putting India to bat first. In the 4th match on Friday, India pacer Rana’s T20I debut as a concussion substitute replacing all-rounder Shivam Dube in the fourth T20I win over England in Pune had sparked a controversy among fans and pundits alike.

Jemimah Rodrigues made for an engaging quizmaster when she asked Hardik Pandya about what made him such a fine finisher with the bat. In a friendly chat on the stage at the BCCI awards function in Mumbai, Jemi as she marched s known, asked Pandya about his ‘ice cool composure.’ “You need to be prepared to stay cool in the match. I’ve always played a match before the match in preparation,” Pandya would explain his build up. “That’s helped me focus on the right things which eventually meant I let my body react how it should, at that point of time. I back my instinct, back myself. And see how it goes,” he would say. With India’s top men’s and women’s stars trading secrets on stage, Pandya also offered an insight into some pet peeves. Traffic, Jemi asked. “It’s depending on where in Mumbai we travel. If traffic is there we can’t do anything. Unfortunately. You just sit there and try to make sure you find some timepass. But sometimes I do get angry when …

‘Talent like Sanju Samson must be allowed a long patch of failures’: Sanjay Manjrekar backs India wicket-keeper | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Despite a rollicking few months as a T20I batter last year where he smashed three hundreds within five innings, Sanju Samson has had an indifferent start to 2025 with four successive failures against England, with the seamers persisting with an effective short-ball ploy against the India wicket-keeper. Samson’s scores in the ongoing series against read 26, 5, 3 and 1 – falling thrice to Jofra Archer and Saqib Mahmood in the fourth outing in Pune on Friday. The Kerala batter has, however, found backing from former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar who appreciated Samson’s high-risk high-reward approached in T20Is. “When you are looking at a T20I talent, batting talent, you have got to see when they are playing well what kind of impact they can make, what contribution they can make. And you see with Sanju Samson, when he plays well, he gets an incredible hundred and puts your team in a winning position. So, such people are allowed failures and maybe a long patch of failures as well because that’s the nature of these as …
