Sarpanch Shreyas Sets New Ro-Kos Record in First Match as Indias Captain

During the toss ahead of the T20 match against Ireland in Belfast on Friday, Shreyas Iyer marked a notable milestone in his cricketing career. Prior to assuming the role of captain for the Indian T20 team, Iyer had already led a total of 114 T20 matches across various franchise and domestic leagues, making him the Indian with the highest number of T20 captaincies before taking on the national team in this format.

This achievement underscores Iyers extensive experience in T20 cricket, which includes stints with prominent franchises in leagues such as the Indian Premier League (IPL) and competitive domestic tournaments. His leadership acumen is expected to be a significant asset as he guides the national team through upcoming challenges in T20 competitions.
