Ireland laid the trap for 15 year old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, ‘Agnipariksha’ under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer in Belfast
Indian cricket’s new star, 15-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, is all set to make his international debut today. The first match of the two-match T20 series between India and Ireland is to be played on June 26 in Belfast. The selection of Vaibhav Suryavanshi in the Indian team that took the field under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer has surprised and excited everyone. However, hosts Ireland have already made their strategy clear to stop the young sensation. Ireland’s special strategy to stop Vaibhav Suryavanshi: Ireland’s experienced all-rounder George Dockrell made it clear in the press conference before the match that his team is ready to deal with the aggressive batting of Vaibhav along with the Indian team. Dockrell said, "Vaibhav is definitely an extremely talented player. Reaching the international level at such a young age is a testament to his ability, but we will not give him any special treatment. Our plans will be the same as for the rest of the Indian batsmen. We are aware of their strength and we are fully prepared to put them under pressure."
India’s ‘new era’ under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer This series is like a new chapter for the Indian team, where Shreyas Iyer is taking over the reins of the team as the T20 captain. The Indian team has a great mix of youth and experience. This tour is also a big opportunity for Ireland to test itself at the world level. According to Dockrell, the Ireland team is also now going through a transformation, with the team identity being revamped with the addition of some new faces. Playing against world champions India is the best way for Ireland to gauge their preparations. Ireland has confidence in Larkan’s captaincy. Dockrell spoke openly about the change of captain in the Ireland team. He praised Larkan’s captaincy, saying, "Larkan is a very clear thinking and calm captain. He understands cricket deeply and inspires every player in the team to take responsibility for himself. The team’s T20 cricket is expected to become stronger under his captaincy." There is every possibility of a tough competition between the two teams in this match to be held in Belfast, where on one hand India will want to maintain its supremacy, while on the other hand Ireland will try to cause an upset with its new strategy.
