Ireland has defeated India by 34 runs. This is the first time in the history of T20 cricket that Ireland has defeated Team India. Shreyas Iyer has had a very bad start as captain, because he was captaining the Indian team in T20 for the first time. Chasing the target of 183 runs set by Ireland, the Indian team was all out for 148 runs. For the first time in the last 17 years, Ireland has defeated India in a T20 match.
This defeat of the Indian team is also shameful because it could not even bat the entire 20 overs. The Indian team was all out after 7 balls. Only Abhishek Sharma could play a big inning for Team India, who played a stormy inning of 50 runs in 20 balls. Abhishek hit 7 fours and 2 sixes in this innings.
First win in 17 years
The first match between India and Ireland in the history of T20 cricket took place in 2009. After that, in the last 17 years, both the teams had clashed 8 times, but every time Team India was winning in a one-sided manner. But the Ireland team will always remember the date of 26 June 2025, because on this day their drought of defeat against India in T20 ended.
Shreyas Iyer’s shameful start
Till now, MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav have been the full-time captains of the Indian team in the T20 format. Shreyas Iyer has become the fifth full-time captain of the T20 team, but his captaincy career had a very bad start.
In the very first match, the Indian team, which was coming after winning the T20 World Cup title only a few months ago, lost. Iyer could not do anything amazing personally either. He scored only 3 runs in 7 balls.
