India vs Ireland, 3rd T20I, Live Updates: India will take on Ireland in the third and final T20I match on Wednesday in Dublin. The Jasprit Bumrah-led side has taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series and will aim for a clean sweep in the final match.
Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shivam Dube collided with each other while taking a catch during India's second T20I match against Ireland in Dublin on Sunday. On the final ball of the third over of Ireland's chase against India, Lorcan Tucker mistimed a pull shot on the bowling of Prasidh Krishna. The duo of Gaikwad and Dube collided while going for the catch, however, the former managed to hang onto the ball despite that. Luckily, both the players escaped unhurt and it ended with smiling faces.
Ruturaj Gaikwad feels leading a side is a complicated affair but he will try to make it simple like his Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni when he captains India at the Asian Games next month. Gaikwad will captain a side full of youngsters in Hangzhou with the main team busy with World Cup preparations at the same time. "Leadership role is a very complicated thing to be honest. What Mahi bhai (Dhoni) always says is to take it one game at a time, don't worry about the future. "Everyone creates hype and whatever it is. I am not the kind of person who tracks social media and hear things about what anyone is saying about me. "I think this is one of the traits that I have learned at CSK. I am pretty much clear about giving my best in the field, coming back home, chilling with my friends," he told reporters after India's 33-run win over Ireland in the second T20 on Sunday.
Jasprit Bumrah has been quite impressive for the Indian cricket team since his return from injury and he was once again among wickets as his side registered a second consecutive win on Sunday. Bumrah, who is also the skipper for the ongoing T20I series against Ireland, took two wickets for just 15 runs and even produced a brilliant display of death-over bowling. The 29-year-old bowled the final over of the Ireland innings and did not concede a single run. It was the 10th maiden over bowled by Bumrah in T20Is – the joint-highest by any bowler in the format. He equalled the record held by compatriot Bhuvneshwar Kumar but he took 25 matches less to achieve the impressive feat.
Indian batsmen and bowlers were immense in their roles while giving their team a 33-run win in the second T20I and an inviolable 2-0 series lead over Ireland in Dublin on Sunday. Once India erected a strong 185 for 5 after being asked to bat first, Ireland felt the heat while chasing and they were restricted to 152 for 8 despite a 51-ball-72 by Andrew Balbirnie. India had won the rain-marred first T20I by two runs under the DLS method. Fine hands by Gaikwad (58, 43 balls, 6x4, 1x6), Sanju Samson (40, 26 balls, 5x4 1x6) and Rinku Singh (38, 21 balls, 2x4, 3x6) moulded India's charge with the bat.

Former India selector Kiran More has backed young batter Ruturaj Gaikwad as a captaincy contender for Team India. More praised the 26-year-old's batting and said that he has got a great temperament. He added that Gaikwad must have learned things like handling the team and situations while playing for Chennai Super Kings under MS Dhoni's captaincy in the Indian Premier League (IPL). It is worth noting that Gaikwad made his IPL debut in 2020. He has played a pivotal role for the side since then, making majority of his apperances under Dhoni's captaincy.
