India, who were put in to bat first by Ireland, piled up 185/5 in the first innings. Jaiswal and Tilak Verma went back cheaply this time. Ruturaj Gaikwad top-scored with a well-made 58 with the company of Sanju(40 off 26), while player of the match Rinku Singh (38 off 21) and Shivam Dube (22* off 16) provided the finishing touches.
Only Balbirnie contributed something noteworthy in response. However, that was never going to be sufficient. In the game’s last over, Bumrah bowled a maiden as he was at the peak of his game. At first, Arshdeep was beaten up, but he did well to battle back. India shut off Ireland with 33 less runs thanks to early strikes from Krishna and two more from Bishnoi.
Some records were also broken during the recently finished game. Here are 3 Records That Were Broken During IND vs IRE 2nd T20I:
3 Records That Were Broken During IND vs IRE 2nd T20I
1- Paul Stirling now has the most ducks in men’s T20Is
When playing India in the second T20I on Sunday, Irish captain Paul Stirling earned an unwanted remark by once again going down without scoring. He became the player with the most ducks in men’s T20I history since it was his 13th duck in T20 internationals for Ireland.
Kevin O’Brien, a former teammate of Stirling’s, also has 12 T20I ducks across 103 innings. With 3,408 runs scored in 130 T20I innings, Stirling is well-known in T20 cricket. He has, however, now gathered the most ducks in T20Is.
2- Fastest 50 Wicket taker Indian Pacer: Arshdeep Singh
In the second T20I, Arshdeep Singh achieved a personal milestone by knocking out 50 wickets for Team India in the game’s shortest format. Arshdeep has already taken 50 scalps for the second-fastest time among Indians. Kuldeep Yadav, who took just 29 innings, continues to be the first Indian on the list.
The left-arm pacer is the fastest Indian pace bowler to accomplish the record, having done it in just 33 games. Jasprit Bumrah, who took 41 T20 international matches to reach 50 T20I wickets, was displaced by Arshdeep on the list after IND vs IRE 2nd T20I.
3- Joint-most maiden overs in T20Is: Jasprit Bumrah joins Bhuvi
Bumrah now shares the record for the most maiden overs bowled in T20Is after his maiden over. With 10 maiden overs, he has now joined Bhuvneshwar Kumar on the list.
Jasprit Bumrah has made an unforgettable return to the Indian side following his lengthy injury break. Bumrah led India in limited overs cricket for the first time, and in the first T20I (2/24), he earned the Player of the Match honor.
The seasoned pacer then put on another crucial bowling performance, picking up two wickets and allowing only 15 runs in his four overs. The maiden in his impressively bowled session came in the 20th over of the innings.
