IND vs IRE, 2nd T20I: When did Ireland last lose a T20I series?
Team India last lost a T20I series in August 2023 to the West Indies when Hardik Pandya was skippering the side. The Caribbeans had won the first two matches but the Men in Blue fought back to win the next couple of them to force a series-decider. Nevertheless, the West Indies chased down 166 comfortably with eight wickets to spare, thereby winning the series 3-2.
Since then, the sub-continent nation went on to win every T20I series, including a couple of T20 World Cups. They hadn’t suffered a T20I series defeat under Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav, with the duo also ushering India to T20 World Cup glory in 2024 and 2026, respectively. However, Shreyas Iyer’s captaincy stint could kickstart to a nightmarish start.
