Today the first T20 match of the series will be played between India and Ireland, Vaibhav Suryavanshi may make his international debut.

The first match of the three-match T20 series between India and Ireland will be played in Belfast today. In fact, this match is not only considered to be the beginning of a series but is also considered to be the beginning of a new chapter for the Indian T20 team. For the first time, Shreyas Iyer will captain the team, while the possibility of 15-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s international debut has made this match more special.

Actually, Shreyas Iyer has returned to the T20 International team after a long time and everyone’s eyes will be on him after getting the responsibility of direct captaincy. On the other hand, young players will get a golden opportunity to prove themselves. The team management is also considering this series as very important for future preparations. This is the reason why many new faces are expected to get a chance.

Eyes set on Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s debut

The biggest attraction of this match is 15 year old Vaibhav Suryavanshi. If he gets a place in the playing-11, he will become one of the youngest players to make his international debut in the history of Indian cricket. He has caught the attention of selectors with his aggressive play in domestic cricket and at the junior level. However, it will not be easy for him to make a place in the team, because the top order looks stronger than before. Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan are in great form. In such a situation, whether the team management changes the batting order or rests an experienced player, it will be clear before the match.

Shreyas Iyer’s captaincy and Team India’s new strategy

In fact, with this series the Indian T20 team will be seen moving in a new direction. Shreyas Iyer is captaining the T20 team for the first time and balanced leadership is expected from him. Many new players will also be kept an eye on in the bowling department. In the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Varun Chakraborty, the responsibility will be on Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana and Arshdeep Singh. Ishan Kishan has been in great form in batting this year and will be expected to make a fast start once again.

rain can spoil the game

India’s record against Ireland has also been very strong. India has won all the T20 matches played between the two teams so far. However, given the weather in Belfast, rain may hamper the match. According to the Meteorological Department, there is a high possibility of rain during the match, due to which the role of toss can also be important. In such a situation, the team which bowls first is expected to get additional advantage.
