India vs Ireland - That Could've Hurt! Jasprit Bumrah Almost Trips Over Teammate On Injury Comeback. Watch

Jasprot Bumrah made a successful comeback from injury on Friday. Against Ireland in the first T20I of a three-match series, Bumrah claimed 2 for 24 with nine dot balls and formed a formidable pair with T20I debutant Prasidh Krishna (2/32) to restrict Ireland to 139 for 7 after opting to bowl. Bumrah was making a comeback after 11 months since lower back stress fractures pushed him to the sidelines. However, there was a moment in the where Bumrah could have injured himself. It happened in the 14th over by Washington Sundar, as Bumrah and Ravi Bishnoi chased a ball to the boundary.

With leg-spinner Bishnoi diving from a different direction, Bumrah had to jump over him to avoid a contact. Bishnoi even gestured funnily towards after the incident.

Talking about the match, things looked bleak for the hosts after they were down 59 for 6 in the 11th over but their No 8 Barry McCarthy produced an amazing recovery, blazing his way to a 33-ball 51 not out (4x4, 4x6) to lift their total to a respectable 139 for 7.

He stitched a seventh wicket 57-run partnership with Curtis Campher (39) as Ireland reeled off 54 runs in the last five overs, losing just one wicket.

McCarthy was the stand out batter for the hosts as he reached his maiden half-century with a last-ball six off Arshdeep Singh who leaked 22 runs in the last over with McCarthy going hammers and tongs with two sixes and a four.

Chasing the tricky target under overcast conditions, India were off to a fluent start with Yashasvi Jaiswal (24; 23b) and Ruturaj Gaikwad (19 not out) putting together 46 runs in 6.2 overs.

But Craig Young produced a double blow, taking the left-handed duo of Jaiswal and Tilak Varma who was out for a golden duck.
