As Iyer’s luck with the toss continued, India endured a tough run in the field after taking an early lead in the series.After a rain-affected game, the visitors lost the next two T20Is, including a crushing 125-run defeat at Trent Bridge that allowed England to seize the momentum.India’s problems have been compounded by injuries to two key bowlers.Fast bowler Harshit Rana and mystery spinner Varun Chakaravarthy have both been ruled out for the remaining two matches after suffering hamstring injuries during the third T20I.“Harshit Rana and Varun Chakaravarthy sustained hamstring injuries in the third T20I against England at Trent Bridge. They were assessed by the BCCI Medical Team and ruled out of the fourth and fifth T20Is,” the BCCI said in a statement.For the fourth T20I, India brought in all-rounder Washington Sundar and pacer Prasidh Krishna as replacements for the injured duo.With England holding the upper hand after back-to-back wins, India will be hoping that Iyer’s luck with the throw can finally translate into success on the field as they look to level the series and avoid another defeat before the decider.
