After the defeat of Team India in the T20 series against Ireland, there is a lot of criticism on social media. Meanwhile, Iceland Cricket took such a dig at India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir, which caught the attention of the cricket world. This post of Iceland Cricket went viral on social media within no time and became a topic of discussion among cricket fans.

Iceland Cricket took a dig on its official X (formerly Twitter) account and wrote, ‘We confirm that we do not want to include Gautam Gambhir in our coaching staff. Although he definitely has talent. To achieve such results in Ireland with an Indian team with so many star players is truly an extraordinary feat.

Ireland defeated India in T20 series

This post has come at a time when the Indian team had to face defeat in the 2-match T20 series against Ireland. The Indian team, under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, lost the first match by 34 runs. After this, in the rain-affected second T20 also, India lost the match by 1 run. With this, Ireland created history by winning a bilateral series against India in any format for the first time.

Indian batting was a flop
The performance of the Indian bowlers in the series was satisfactory, but the batting was a complete flop. Captain Shreyas Iyer, T20 World Cup 2026 Player of the Tournament Sanju Samson and other batsmen could not play big innings. In the second match, while chasing the target of 155 runs, India could score only 153 runs in 20 overs and remained just one run away from victory.

Shreyas’s captaincy started with defeat
With this defeat, Shreyas Iyer also became the second captain of India to lose his first two T20 International matches as captain. Now his eyes will be on making a comeback on the England tour.

The Indian team will leave for England tour this week, where a five-match T20 series will be played between the two teams. The first match will be held on July 1 at the Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street. The second match will be played at Old Trafford on 4 July. After this, the remaining three matches will be held on 7, 9 and 11 July in Nottingham, Bristol and Southampton respectively.

15-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi was included in the Indian team for the Ireland tour, but he did not get a chance in both the matches. After 2 consecutive defeats, now cricket experts and fans are demanding to include Vaibhav in the playing eleven. In such a situation, the chances of his international debut in the first T20 match against England increased significantly.
