McLaren and is now eligible for a Super Licence. The 23-year-old, who is aiming to become the third racer from India to race in Formula 1, drove the Woking-based team's 2021 race-winning challenger - the MCL35M - on Tuesday and Wednesday at Silverstone. The test was Jehan's first taste of F1 machinery and he chalked up over 130 laps combined over the two days, over twice the distance F1 drivers will cover during next weekend's British Grand Prix. The track time helped him earn enough points to apply for a Super Licence, which is needed to compete in Formula 1. Jehan, who ran trouble-free on both the days, currently races with Italian team Prema in the Formula 2 championship, the feeder series that sits one step below Formula 1, and is third in the overall standings.
IND vs LEI, Tour Match, Day 2 Live Score Updates:The focus would be on Srikar Bharat as he looks to register a much-deserved century on Day 2 of the ongoing four-day Tour Game against Leicestershire. It was Bharat who helped India go past the 200-run mark after the top-order fell cheaply. Virat Kohli made a well made 33, but he was given out to a dubious on-field call. Skipper Rohit Sharma made 25 while Shubman Gill scored 21. At stumps on Day 1, India's score read 246/8 with Bharat (70*) and Mohammed Shami (18*) at the crease. For Leicestershire, Roman Walker, who is yet to play a first-class game, took five wickets. Walked dismissed Rohit Sharma, Hanuma Vihari, Ravindra Jadeja, Virat Kohli and Shardul Thakur.

Murali Vijay is not setting himself any targets as he plans a return to the sport to play in the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) after a nearly two-year hiatus. A veteran of 61 Tests and nearly 4,000 runs in the longest format of the game, Vijay last played a competitive match in the 2020 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) for the Chennai Super Kings, and is now set to don the Ruby Trichy Warriors colours in the TNPL this year. "The two-year break was to reflect...
Ireland, on the other hand, will look to take this series as a chance to go toe to toe with one of the powerhouses of international cricket. An ICC full-time member only since 2017, Irish cricket has come a long way but is still trying to find its way to the top of the chain in international cricket. With a bunch of talented cricketers, Ireland will be itching to give their best and make a mark against an Indian side that doesn't have the services of the likes of Virat Kohl, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant and other first choice players. And for that, the Irish have got some exciting prospects in their line-up. TimesofIndia.com here takes a look at 5 Irish cricketers who you should watch out for in the 2 match T20I series in Dublin:Andrew Balbirnie (captain - Right hand bat)Swashbuckling Andrew Balbirnie will be one of India's biggest threats in the upcoming 2-match T20I series starting Sunday. The Irish opener has been terrific at the top of the order for his side and has led from the front with the bat. Skipper of the Ireland team since 2019, Balbirnie so far has represented Ireland in 67 T20Is where he has 1,429 runs at an average of 24.22. But the most impressive part of Balbirnie's batting is his scoring rate at the top of the order. Known for giving his team strong starts, Balbirnie gets the runs quickly and has had a strike rate of over 126 in 67 T20I outings.
