India’s disappointing 0-2 T20 series defeat to Ireland has drawn sharp reactions from across the cricketing world, with Iceland Cricket joining the criticism through a sarcastic post on social media. Led by Shreyas Iyer, India lost the second T20 in Belfast by just one run, marking the first time the team has lost a bilateral T20 series to Ireland.
Iceland Cricket takes a dig at Gambhir
Known for its humorous posts on X, Iceland Cricket mocked Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir after the series defeat. The board wrote that it had no plans to include Gambhir in its coaching staff, adding that it takes “special talent” to produce such results in Ireland despite having a squad full of experienced Indian players. The post quickly went viral on social media.
Series defeat adds to criticism
The loss has intensified criticism of Team India’s recent performances under Gambhir’s coaching. Fans and former cricketers have questioned the team’s results after another disappointing overseas series against an associate nation.
Unwanted records under Gambhir
Since Gambhir became head coach, India has recorded several unwanted milestones. The team suffered its first-ever 0-2 T20 series defeat against Ireland, was whitewashed 3-0 at home by New Zealand, lost the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after 10 years and missed the World Test Championship final for the first time.
India also lost a bilateral ODI series to Sri Lanka after 27 years, suffered a home Test series defeat to South Africa after 25 years and recorded the biggest Test defeat in its history by 408 runs. The latest defeat in Ireland has further increased scrutiny over Gambhir’s coaching and the team’s overall performance.
