The captain of the Indian T20 team, Shreyas Iyer, is demonstrating impressive luck during coin tosses. In the third T20 match held at Trent Bridge in Nottingham against England, Shreyas won the toss again and decided to start the game with the ball.
New record in winning streak
Thanks to this success, Shreyas Iyer achieved his fifth consecutive toss victory in T20 International. This streak allowed him to equal Rohit Sharma, who held the record for five consecutive toss wins from February 2020 to February 2022.
Historical achievements in T20I
Currently, the record holder for the most consecutive toss wins among Indian captains in T20 International is M.S. Dhoni, who won seven tosses in a row between May 2010 and February 2012. Virat Kohli holds the second spot on this list, having won six consecutive tosses from August to December 2019.
Prospects for Shreyas Iyer
If Shreyas Iyer wins the next T20 International match, he will be able to match Virat Kohli's record. Moreover, provided he wins two additional matches, he could potentially reach M.S. Dhoni's world record.
