India vs Ireland, 2nd T20I Live: Here is Bumrah said –

“We would have batted first as well. The weather is a little better today and we wanted to put runs on the board. The body is good, was a little careful in the begining and then after that kept on building confidence and it was good. Same team,” said Jasprit Bumrah after the toss.

India vs Ireland, 2nd T20I Live: Ireland also unchanged

Leading the side on his return after an 11-month injury layoff, Bumrah claimed 2 for 24 in his first match in almost a year, including bowling nine dot balls while forming a formidable partnership with T20I debutant Prasidh Krishna (2/32) — also on a comeback trail — to restrict Ireland to a modest total after opting to bowl.

India vs Ireland, 2nd T20I Live: Toss – one of the factors

In these conditions, toss can play a vital role and India were lucky in that aspect, and the visitors wouldn’t mind if the coin lands in their favour on Sunday, too.

India vs Ireland, 2nd T20I Live: The case of Washington Sundar

Though injuries have remained a part of his career, all-rounder Washington Sundar has also gained enough experience at the top level, and he will be pressed into service by Bumrah, who is leading the team in the absence of regular T20I skipper Hardik. Apart from bowling economical overs, Sundar is also a handy batter.

India vs Ireland, 2nd T20I Live: Jaiswal, Tilak, Samson in spotlight

Having got out after getting a good start in the first match, opener Yashasvi Jaiswal will look for a big score and so will Tilak Varma, who was dismissed for a golden duck days after his stupendous performance in the West Indies. While the newcomers in international cricket dominate the top-order, veteran wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson lends a bit of experience to the Indian batting order in the absence of people like Suryakumar Yadav, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill and Hardik Pandya.

India vs Ireland, 2nd T20I Live: A crucial series for Bumrah

The series is significant for Bumrah, who gets an ideal opportunity to test himself and get into the groove ahead of the Asia Cup and World Cup where his presence will be vital from the Indian perspective. India missed Bumrah in major tournaments and the impact of it was quite evident, however, now the side would aim to put a better show against its opponents in the upcoming continental and world event.
