Shreyas Iyer's Key Hurdles as India Captain on Ireland Tour

The new T20I skipper faces scrutiny over recent form in his first assignment against Ireland.

Shreyas Iyer takes over as India's T20I captain for the two-match series against Ireland, starting June 26 in Belfast. This tour serves as preparation for the upcoming England series and a chance for Iyer to prove his leadership after replacing Suryakumar Yadav.

A major challenge is Iyer's recent batting form. In the ODI series against Afghanistan, he managed only 58 runs in three innings with a top score of 26. In the IPL 2026 second half, he scored 219 runs in seven matches, including a century, but his inconsistency contributed to Punjab Kings missing the playoffs after six consecutive losses.
