India vs Ireland, 2nd T20I, India Predicted XI: Will Umran Malik Get Another Chance?

India on Sunday defeated Ireland by seven wickets to lead the two-match T20I series 1-0. The match in Dublin saw Indian batters being right on the money but it was certainly the bowling department of the visitors that failed to meet expectations. Ireland scored 108/4 against India in the rain-curtailed match that was reduced to 12 overs a side. Though India eventually won the game riding on a good batting performance, stand-in skipper Hardik Pandya will be looking for a better showing from his bowlers in the second T20I to be played on Tuesday.

Here's what we think could be India's playing XI for the second T20I against Ireland:

Ishan Kishan: The southpaw continued his good form and smashed 26 runs off 11 balls in the first T20I against Ireland. His dominating knock included three fours and two sixes.

Rahul Tripathi: Given that Ruturaj Gaikwad didn't bat in the first game after suffering a calf injury, IPL star Rahul Tripathi may be handed his India debut during the second T20I against Ireland.

Suryakumar Yadav: The right-handed batter fell for a first-ball duck on his return to the national side after recovering from injury. He will be raring to make his mark in the second match.

Deepak Hooda: After warming the bench in the South Africa series, Deepak Hooda finally got his chance against Ireland and he impressed with an unbeaten 47-run knock off 29 balls. His innings was laced with six fours and two sixes.

Hardik Pandya (c): The all-rounder will be high on confidence after registering a win in his maiden game as India skipper. While his batting was once again the centre of attraction, his bowling form remains an area of concern.

Dinesh Karthik: The wicketkeeper-batter got only four balls to play in the first T20I
