India Suffer Humbling defeat in England, Register 4 Humiliating Record in T20Is

India were hammered by England in the 3rd T20I at Trent Bridge as Shreyas Iyer and his team suffered a defeat by 125 runs.

Choosing to bowl first, India conceded 201 runs to England, and then got bundled out for just 76 runs. With the defeat, the English have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in this series, as Shreyas Iyer continues to remain winless as India captain after five matches in his captaincy.

Prince Yadav struck early with a sensational yorker to dismiss Jos Buttler (36) off the first ball of his spell, followed by Harry Brook. Harshit Rana claimed the wickets of Jacob Bethell and Tom Banton. England still posted a competitive 201/7, powered by middle-order contributions.

India's chase collapsed dramatically. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (13 off 5, 2 sixes) provided a brief spark before falling to Jofra Archer. Shreyas Iyer managed just 5 as the batting lineup crumbled against spin and pace. India were bowled out for 76 in 11.4 overs - one of their heaviest T20I defeats. Josh Tongue and Adil Rashid were among the chief wreckers.
