Cricket's Rough Patch: What India's T20 Slump Means for Fans in Singapore
Cricket is never just a sport for Singapore's South Asian community — it is identity, pride, and passion — which makes India's recent T20 struggles all the more felt here.
🏏 BCCI Calls for Review After India's Five-Match T20 Losing Streak
India's cricket board has announced it will hold a formal review of the T20 team's performance after the side suffered five consecutive defeats, including a series whitewash in Ireland and a 3-0 deficit against England. The team's lowest point came when they were bowled out for just 76 runs in Nottingham — their heaviest-ever T20 defeat by a margin of 125 runs. BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia, speaking from Edinburgh where he was attending an ICC conference, described the run as a temporary bad phase and confirmed a review meeting would take place after the England tour concludes. Notably absent from the squad are pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah and all-rounder Hardik Pandya, both managing workload and injury concerns. [4]
