India's disappointing run in T20Is continued with a heavy defeat to England in the fourth match of the series. Before facing England, the Men in Blue had also lost a T20I series against Ireland, making their recent results even more concerning.

Batting first, India struggled to build partnerships after losing early wickets. Shreyas Iyer was the only batter to make a significant impact, scoring 80 off 49 balls, while the rest of the batting lineup failed to contribute consistently. India eventually finished with a below-par total of 158/7 in 20 overs.

The bowlers were unable to defend the target as England dominated the chase. Harry Brook remained unbeaten on 79, while Phil Salt scored 59 to guide the hosts to a comfortable nine-wicket win with 37 balls to spare. The defeat sealed the series for England and added to India's growing struggles in T20I cricket, helping explain the frustration behind Shashi Tharoor's viral reaction.
