Shreyas Iyer Captaincy Record in T20Is: Wins, Losses and Stats

Shreyas Iyer's tenure as India's T20I skipper started earlier this year after India won the T20 World Cup 2026. Following the tournament, former skipper Suryakumar Yadav was removed from the team and Iyer was given the charge.

In the recently concluded India vs West Indies series, India finished with a 2-2 draw, with the final game washed out in Bengaluru. Under Iyer, results have been mixed so far, and with India having back-to-back T20 World Cup titles to their name, expectations are high.

We will now look at Shreyas Iyer's captaincy record so far, including his overall statistics, series-by-series results and key achievements.

What s Shreyas Iyer's Record as T20I Skipper?

Shreyas Iyer started his captaincy tenure in a disastrous fashion, as India not only lost to Ireland for the first time in a T20I match but also went on to lose the entire series. Despite that, India have pulled off the Asian Games gold medal, defeating arch-rivals Pakistan in the final.

Below are the overall statistics and a complete breakdown of the series-by-series results under his captaincy.

Overall record

• Matches: 21

• Wins: 11

• Losses: 7

• No results: 3

• Win percentage: 52.38% 

Series-by-series results

Key achievements

• Defended Asian Games gold medal: India defended their gold medal after defeating arch-rivals Pakistan by 19 runs in the final. The Indian men's cricket team won the gold medal for the second consecutive time in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan.

What lies ahead for Shreyas Iyer and Team India?

India will be heading into a tough assignment in a couple of days, as India will tour New Zealand for 5 T20Is.

New Zealand are a strong side, especially at home, and have seriously challenged India in the past. However, India have dominated in their last couple of series while touring the Kiwi island and now eyes will be on Iyer.

Bowling has been a concern for India. The squad has already been announced, and India still look like a very good side on paper.

India’s T20I Squad: Shreyas Iyer (C), Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (WK), Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Ishan Kishan (WK), Tilak Varma (VC), Axar Patel, Shivam Dube, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Naman Dhir, Prince Yadav, Mayank Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Varun Chakaravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav

With questions already being raised, Iyer's team will be looking to make a mark and bounce back strongly after the 2-2 series draw against the West Indies, who are currently ranked 7th in the ICC Men's T20I team rankings.
