India vs Ireland, 1st T20I, Live Updates:India will be taking on Ireland in the first T20I of the five-match series on Friday in Dublin. The visitors will be led by star pacer Jasprit Bumrah, who will be returning to action after recovering from a back injury.
The wait is finally over as Jasprit Bumrah is all set to return to action when India take on Ireland in the first T20I of the three-match series against Ireland at the Malahide Cricket Club in Dublin. Bumrah, who has been named captain for the series, has been out of action since September last year due to a recurring back issue and had surgery in New Zealand in March earlier this year. Bumrah's return is a timely one for the Indian team, which is set to take part in the Asia Cup, as well as the World Cup on home soil.
Tilak Varma and Dewald Brevis, two breakout stars from previous U19 World Cups, are among the few young players hoping to compete in the 2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup. Tilak Varma's second ball in international cricket was despatched calmly over deep square for a maximum. The fearless teenager did it again the next time he faced a pacy Alzarri Joseph. Tilak is already being considered for a spot in India's World Cup squad after finishing his first T20I series, having scored 173 runs in five matches with a strike rate of over 140 and showcasing immense maturity and composure.
The Jasprit Bumrah-led Team India is all set to take on Ireland in the three-match T20I series from Friday in Dublin. With the series, the visitors will aim for redemption for the recent loss against West Indies in the five-match T20Is. The fans are eagerly waiting to see the star pacer Jasprit Bumrah back in action after a hiatus of almost a year. Apart from him, the IPL 2023 stars like Rinku Singh, Jitesh Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and others are also a part of the squad.
Almost 11 months after he hobbled off the field, Jasprit Bumrah will be cynosure of all eyes when he leads India against Ireland as the fast bowler's fitness and rhythm will be tested in the three-match T20 International series, starting Friday. The team is packed with India's Gen-Next IPL performers like Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rinku Singh and Jitesh Sharma but stakeholders in Indian cricket will keenly observe Bumrah, who will be key to home team's plans during the ODI World Cup starting in less than two months.
With the uncertainty over KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer's fitness, former Australia spinner Brad Hogg has suggested a couple of solutions for the Indian team heading into the World Cup. Both Rahul and Iyer are currently undergoing rehab at the National Cricket Academy, and their absence has left a massive void in the Indian middle-order. While India have tried different combinations to address the issue, none of the players have managed to impress head coach Rahul Dravid and captain Rohit Sharma.
When Ravi Shastri was the coach of the Indian cricket team, the side came close but could not win any ICC title. The side, however, made tremendous progress in Test format winning series in Australia. Fitness and giving important to a great pace attack were two of the main focusses when Shastri and former captain Virat Kohli was at the helm of the Indian cricket team. As the Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team gears up for the Asia Cup and World Cup, one spot which is bothering the team combination is the middle-former, which is far from settled.
India went on an experimentation spree in the limited overs series against the West Indies but not much came out of it except Tilak Varma emerging as a contender for a World Cup middle-order slot on the back of his exploits in the T20 series. Ahead of the Asia Cup and subsequent World Cup, India were looking for options in the middle-order in the ODI series but the number four slot remains up for grabs.
