India vs Ireland, 1st T20, Vaibhav Suryavanshi
belfast: Under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, India will start a new era against Ireland from today. The Indian team is playing its first T20 series after the departure of world champion captain Suryakumar Yadav from the team. The first match of the two-match series will be played in Belfast today at 6 pm Indian time.
India’s squad: Shreyas Iyer (captain), Tilak Verma (vice-captain), Ravi Bishnoi, Abhishek Sharma, Suryansh Shedge, Prasidh Krishna, Sanju Samson, Axar Patel, Harshit Rana, Ishan Kishan, Washington Sundar, Arshdeep Singh, Shivam Dubey, Prince Yadav and Vaibhav Suryavanshi.
Ireland squad: Lorcan Tucker (captain), Ross Adair, Ben Calitz, Gareth Delaney, George Dockrell, Stephen Doheny, Matthew Humphreys, Gavin Hoey, Matthew Hallard, Liam McCarthy, Jay Mundra, Harry Tector, Tim Tector, Reuben Wilson.
IRE vs IND: Ireland will enter with a new captain
On the other hand, Ireland will miss Josh Little, Mark Adair, Paul Stirling and Curtis Campher who will not be able to play in this series due to injuries. They have a new captain in the form of Lorcan Tucker, apart from them they will be expected to perform well from George Dockrell, Gareth Delaney, Harry Tector and Indian-origin Jai Mundra.
IND vs IRE: Team India will check the bowling bench strength
In bowling, India has second line bowlers, but in this series and the next series against England, they will have a great opportunity to prove their ability. Harshit Rana’s return from injury has added more options to India’s fast bowling unit, but he will face tough competition from Prasidh Krishna and Prince Yadav. Both Prasidh and Prince are in great form.
LIVE: Surya’s farewell, Shreyas Iyer crowned as captain
Shreyas Iyer will start as the full-time captain. His captaincy record in IPL has been excellent. Under his captaincy, Kolkata Knight Riders won the title in 2024, while a year later, Punjab Kings made it to the finals under his captaincy.
IND vs IRE 1st T20I LIVE: Will Sanju Samson play in the middle order?
The team management can send Sanju Samson in the middle order, because he has already batted at number four and five, but now captain Iyer and vice-captain Tilak Verma will play in their place and in such a situation only the place at number six will remain vacant. This position is also traditionally kept for all-rounders and India have many options in the form of Shivam Dubey, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel and Suryansh Shedge.
Vaibhav Sooryavbanshi: Tampering with the top order is not easy
Samson, Abhishek and Kishan scored half-centuries in the ICC T20 World Cup final victory against New Zealand in March. After this, India has not played any match in the shortest format. If the team management includes Suryavanshi as an opening batsman, then either Samson or Abhishek will have to either play lower down the batting order or be out of the team. This would be a drastic step after winning the World Cup title.
IND vs IRE LIVE: Vaibhav will come to the field, will create a storm
The common cricket lover wants that Vaibhav Suryavanshi gets a chance in this match, but this task will not be easy for the team management. India’s top three batsmen are Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan, their T20 record is not easy to ignore.
