After India defeated Zimbabwe by seven wickets in the first T20I, former India cricketer Sadagoppan Ramesh said, "Shreyas Iyer will be relieved, considering India's fall under his captaincy." "When you are starving for a victory for so long in T20Is, even leftover food will taste like a wedding meal," Sadagoppan added. Recently, India lost T20I series against England and Ireland.
