The India National Cricket Team opted to bowl first after Iyer won the toss against the Ireland National Cricket Team in the two-match T20I series opener on Friday, June 26, at the Civil Service Cricket Club in Belfast. Recently, Sanjay Manjrekar credits IPL for shaping Shreyas Iyer's captaincy credentials.
Rohit had led India for the first time after playing 80 T20s. Rohit was followed by Virat Kohli (72), KL Rahul (42), Rishabh Pant (30), and Shikhar Dhawan (21) in the list of the players leading in most T20Is at the time of their T20I captaincy debuts for India.
Only Shikhar Dhawan (35 years and 232 days) and Suryakumar Yadav (33 years and 70 days) were older when they captained India for the first time in T20I cricket. Others in the list are Rohit (30 years and 234 days) and KL Rahul (30 years and 143 days).
Shreyas Iyer reveals his simple captaincy mantra
Shreyas Iyer said at the toss, as quoted by Cricbuzz: “I always keep saying that you don’t have to complicate things. Keep it as simple as possible. When I say that, you just need to be in the present and not think much about or dwell on the past or future. If you’re there in the moment and you’re enjoying the game, that’s all that is required from each one.”

Iyer added, “Honestly speaking, he’s just asked all the players to be themselves and be relentless in the approach—ruthless. And there are so many other adverbs that I could put in over here. But, you know, it comes from the experience, and for the majority of us, as I’ve mentioned before, it’s our first time over here.
So, we need to get accustomed to the conditions as well as quickly as possible. And we’ve had a tremendous session yesterday. So, boys are looking in great shape and good form.”
