India's white-ball tour of the United Kingdom has finally reached its conclusion at Lord's, bringing an end to a demanding and largely chastening trip across Ireland and England.
The T20 world champions arrived at the British Isles hoping to stamp their authority. Instead, they suffered a humbling 0-2 defeat against Ireland in the T20I series and were then swept away 0-4 by England in the T20s, a result that cost India its world No. 1 ranking.

India were hoping a turn in fortune with Shubman Gill and veteran duo of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma returning for the ODIs. While India won the first ODI, England claimed the next two to complete a dominant run at home.
With the tour over and Rohit Sharma's future dominating the headlines, attention now turns to what comes next for a side juggling World Test Championship points and 2027 World Cup preparation.
