7 winless matches. In India's 20 year history of T20I cricket, they have never experienced such a rough patch. Who would have imagined that by the end of the UK trip, Shreyas Iyer would have not registered a single 'W' as the Indian skipper! But then, such is cricket sometimes. You can't rest on past results and continuously have to prove yourself.
Harry Brook and his men did just that in this series and achieved an overwhelming result of 4-0. With this, England are now also the no.1 ranked Men's T20I side.
Iyer's troops will have the chance to bounce back on the tour to Zimbabwe later this month. But before that the focus will shift to ODIs as a 3-match series against England will begin on Tuesday, July 14. Of course Team Crex will be there to call the action. Do join us for it.
For now, this is Darpan Tikiya signing off on the behalf of AkshayaKrishna Polya, Aman and Raju Khariya. See you soon!
