Team India trying to open winning account on England tour

The Indian team’s white-ball tour of England has been very bad so far, where it suffered a crushing defeat of 0-4 in the T20 series. Before losing to England, the Indian team also had to face a humiliating 0-2 defeat in the T20 series in Ireland. Because of this, the Indian team has lost 6 consecutive matches on the current tour of Ireland and England and has not been able to win even a single match so far.
