England completed a dominant 4-0 T20I series win over India after securing a 56-run victory in the fifth and final match, handing the visitors their first-ever four-match defeat in a bilateral T20I series.
The result capped a disappointing tour for India, who failed to win a single completed match under new T20I captain Shreyas Iyer. One match in the five-game series was washed out.
India’s struggles extend beyond England, with the team also suffering a 2-0 series defeat in Ireland earlier in the tour. The combined results leave the Men in Blue winless in their last seven T20Is.
The back-to-back series defeats also saw England replace India as the world’s No. 1 ranked T20I team. India relinquished the top ranking for the first time in four years following the series. (Newswire)
