IRE VS IND: India pips Ireland by two runs in DLS Method, takes 1-0 lead
The HinduPace sensation Jasprit Bumrah ticked all the boxes on his much-anticipated return to lead India to a two-run win over Ireland by DLS Method in a rain-interrupted first T20I of the three-match series, here on Friday. Leading the side on his return after an 11-month injury layoff, Bumrah claimed 2 for 24 with nine dot balls and formed a formidable pair with T20I debutant Prasidh Krishna to restrict Ireland to 139 for 7 after opting to bowl.
