Shreyas Iyer is back in the T20I side as the captain.
India Vs Ireland LIVE Score, 1st T20I: Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the first T20I of the two-match series between hosts Ireland and World Champions India at the Stormont Cricket Ground, Belfast, on Friday, June 26. There is a stark contrast between the pedigrees of both teams as India is the World Cup winner and is ranked first in the rankings, while Ireland is currently placed in the 12th spot. The Men In Blue have a clean slate in Ireland, winning all the 8 matches played so far, and would want to continue their flawless record. The biggest question before the match is whether India will hand Vaibhav Sooryavanshi his India debut, as they already have a well-settled opening pair in the form of Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma. On the other side, the injury-ridden Irish team have an uphill task of going past a strong Indian outfit, with a new captain, Lorcan Tucker, at the helm.
