IND vs IRE 1st T20I: After losing out on the five-match T20I series against West Indies by 2-3, recently, Team India is set for a short T20I tour to Ireland. India, spearheaded by Jasprit Bumrah, will take guard against Ireland in a three-game T20I series, that starts on August 18 in Dublin. This article will walk you through IND vs IRE 1st T20I Dream11 Prediction, India Playing11, Pitch Report.
For the first time since September 2022, India’s ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah will be back in action. The speedster will be leading the T20I side against Ireland, which also marks his comeback after undergoing a long injury layover.
Alongside Bumrah, young Ruturaj Gaikwad has been entrusted to be the vice-captain of the team. It will be his maiden stint to assume the leadership role for the national side.
Senior members of the T20I side – Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill, have been rested for the Ireland tour following their services in the recently held West Indies tour.
Meanwhile, Rinku Singh and Jitesh Sharma have been awarded the maiden national call-up following their impressive exploits in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 for their respective franchises.
The fairly inexperienced Indian team would have a point to prove as they lock horns against Ireland. Several new members would pull no punches in showcasing their talent and pave their way to the Indian squad for the future.
However, Ireland isn’t going to be an easy target for Indians. Captain Paul Stirling said it will be massive if they manage to defeat the Indian team.
