‘He will be one of the best captains in India’: Shrestha Iyer supports younger brother Shreyas Iyer after England’s crushing defeat | Cricket News
New Delhi: India T20I Captain Shreyas Iyer He received strong support from sister Shresta Iyer to continue his difficult start as full-time captain of the team after another disappointing result against England in the third T20I.In a video that went viral on social media, Shrestha urged fans not to judge her brother solely on his recent defeats and expressed confidence that he will go on to become one of India’s greatest captains.“Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli Haha… legend, Rohit Sharma The legend…is here again, Sachin Tendulkar legend. Ye logon ne bhi kaafi saare game lost kiye hain. But agar aap Sirf Shreyas Iyer, Shreyas Iyer hi Bolte rahoge, toh maybe aapko kuch to kuch to Problem hai…but I think he is great. Overall, his character is very different. I think he has a lot to give. Unke jitna aur kisi ke paas nahi hai. Unke paas itna kuch dene ke liye hai. Coming time bahut jaldi aane wala hai, woh time bahut jaldi aayega, jab ye bolenge ki Shreyas Iyer is one of the best captains in India. I believe this has happened,” Shrestha told Filmigyan.Her remarks came after India suffered its biggest ever defeat in a T20I match, with England beating India by 125 runs in the third T20I. The heavy loss has further compounded Iyer’s woes since taking over as India’s full-time T20I captain in July.
A tough start for Captain Iyer
Iyer’s first assignment as full-time captain was against Ireland, where India lost 2-0 in two games.The ongoing series in England is not going India’s way either. The first T20I match was rained out and India subsequently lost the second match by four wickets. The third T20I ended in a humiliating 125-run defeat, with India trailing 0-2 in five overs.The numbers also paint a worrying picture.In the last 12 T20 games as captain, Iyer has managed just one win while suffering 10 defeats. A game without results.
India face must-win fourth T20I
India now have little room for error in this series. Trailing 2-0, they must win the fourth T20I against England at the Bristol County Ground on Thursday to retain the five-match series.
