India beat Zimbabwe by 7 wickets in Shreyas Iyer’s first win as captain

1 min readJul 23, 2026 07:47 PM IST Vaibhav Sooryavanshi smashed 50 in 19 balls as India eased to a seven wicket win against Zimbabwe in the first T20I in Harare with 40 balls to spare. Shreyas Iyer has thus finally recorded his first win as India’s T20I captain, having lost six out of his first seven games in the tours of Ireland and England. India’s new-look pace lineup led the way with Mayank Yadav and Prince Yadav returning figures of 2/18 and 2/19 respectively as Zimbabwe were restricted to a paltry score of 125/7 in 20 overs. Sooryavanshi then launched a trademark assault on the Zimbabwean bowlers, which pretty much sealed the deal for India. He fell to Richard Ngarava in the seventh over, by which time India had already raced to 68 runs. To be updated… Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, or text presented here.

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 …

Shresta Iyer is ready to step out from the massive shadow of her brother, Indian Team Cricket Captain Shreyas Iyer. Best known to the public through her family ties and her work as a content creator, she is carving out her own path by joining the reality TV on Netflix’s Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa Season 2. She is determined to flip the script and show the world the authentic person behind the famous last name. As she puts it, the reality show is her chance to let viewers “see who she is beyond that identity.” Shreyas Iyer’s sister Shresta enters Lock Upp 2: ‘I’m here to create my own identity’ Shresta Iyer wants to be known for herself She was in the news during the IPL 2026 season after posting a light-hearted Instagram reel after the rain-hit Punjab Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders match ended with both teams sharing a point.

Synopsis: Shreyas’s maiden IPL hundred and Prabhsimran’s 69 end Punjab’s six-game losing streak; Inglis’s 72 against his old mentor Ponting never enough as PBKS keep playoff hopes alive Punjab Kings began this season winning seven games in a row. Then they lost six. On Saturday night in Lucknow, Shreyas Iyer hit a maiden IPL hundred off the last ball of the penultimate over – a six that finished the game – as Punjab Kings beat Lucknow Super Giants by seven wickets. They now move to 15 points and fourth place. Rajasthan Royals, one game left and two points behind, can still leapfrog them. Last year, after Punjab Kings finished runners-up, Shreyas Iyer said the job was still half done. He wanted to receive the trophy next year. Seven wins, then six losses — a season that had folded in on itself in three weeks, leaving a team that once looked like title contenders scrambling for a lifeline on the final night of the league stage. On Saturday night, with the season on the line, he …

Why Venkatesh Iyer’s resurgence is a timely boost for champions RCB

Why Venkatesh Iyer’s resurgence is a timely boost for champions RCB

Published by Webster

Both Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) arrived in Dharamshala, needing a win for separate reasons. The former wanted the win to seal a playoff spot while the latter was desperate to end a five-match losing run. In the end, it was RCB who prevailed and inflicted a sixth straight loss on the Shreyas Iyer-led side. Regular captain Rajat Patidar’s absence left RCB with a sizeable hole to fill in their batting line-up against PBKS in Dharamshala on Sunday. With one of their most reliable batsmen unavailable, they needed somebody to step in at number four to offer support to Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal. The responsibility went to Venkatesh Iyer. Before this game, the 31-year-old had barely spent time in the middle. His previous scores were 29 not out and 12, both innings coming as an impact sub batting at number nine. This time, though, the role was completely different. He walked in during the 10th over after Padikkal fell following a 76-run partnership with Kohli. Venkatesh took a few balls to …

3 min readApr 26, 2026 07:03 PM IST Shreyas Iyer completed a historic highest chase with the base set by Prabhsimran and Priyansh Arya against Delhi Capitals. But the champion captain of Punjab Kings has been building the bond with his Top Two tornadoes for a while now. Speaking to JioHotstar after their win over Rajasthan Royals last week, where the trio overshadowed Vaibhav Sooryvanshi’s 100, the captain had said, ” We have a team room, which is probably there for every team. We try to spend a lot of time together in that team room before and after games, and whenever we have off days. We come together and build that bond.” The skipper has been keen on letting them know that they don’t need to fit in any prior mould but create their own niche. “Whenever I speak to them, my only message is, just be yourself. Don’t try to emulate, mimic, or be someone else. When you are playing at this level and you are fearless and flamboyant in your own way, …

How long before Shreyas Iyer’s exile ends? Clock ticking on India to bring him back as Suryakumar Yadav’s successor

Published by Parlour News

The year has started with plenty of news and entertainment for cricket fans, first with India’s triumph in the T20 World Cup 2026 and now the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League. With a long summer of international cricket ahead, many national teams have begun their preparations, and performances in the IPL provide a global stage for players to push their case for national selection. Shreyas Iyer, left, and Suryakumar Yadav (AFP) Indian batter Shreyas Iyer has taken centre stage in the cricketing circle for a while now, with his future in India’s white-ball setup still up in the air. Iyer, who has played over 125 matches and scored more than 4,000 international runs for his country, was omitted from the T20I squad, with his last appearance against Australia in 2023. Since then, India has gone on to win back-to-back T20 WCs, with Iyer missing out on both, featuring in roughly 16 matches primarily in the ODI format. His exclusion followed his removal from the BCCI Central Contract list for limited involvement in domestic …

3 min readUpdated: Apr 18, 2026 11:37 AM IST In a moment that has now gone viral from the Indian Premier League’s 2026 season, Shreyas Iyer took one of the best catches of the league’s 19-year history to dismiss Hardik Pandya at the Wankhede Stadium. The reaction from Mumbai players like Suryakumar Yadav and Rohit Sharma immediately after Iyer sent the ball back inside the boundary ropes with a superhuman aerial effort was enough to demonstrate just how impressive the catch was. Even though cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar was among the many former players gushing about the catch, Iyer joked that no one was patting him on the back for that catch. Now, Iyer has received praise for the catch from the authority in all matters of fielding: Jonty Rhodes. In a post on X, Rhodes said that he had felt like the ‘father of fielding’ for a long time, but these days when he sees efforts like Iyer’s, he begins to feel like the ‘grandfather of fielding’ instead. “Watching Shreyas Iyer perform that acrobatic …
