The first T20 match between India and England was washed out due to rain. The first T20 match played at Chester Lee Street on Wednesday was canceled due to rain. However, in this match, Indian captain Shreyas Iyer created history. Shreyas Iyer has created history by scoring a half-century in the first T20 against England.
In the first T20 against England, Shreyas Iyer played a brilliant inning of 68 runs in 47 balls. Six fours and one six came from his bat. He has become the first Indian captain to score a half-century (fifty) in England in T20 International. No Indian captain before him could accomplish this feat. This was also Shreyas Iyer’s first half-century as captain.
You will be surprised to know that even veteran batsmen like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav could not achieve this feat. Before Shreyas Iyer, Virat Kohli had scored the most runs as captain in 2018. King Kohli had played an inning of 47 runs in 2018 while being the captain.
