Krishna and India skipper Jasprit Bumrah are making a comeback from injury layoffs, with Bumrah returning after an 11-month layoff. Despite their time away from the game, both Bumrah and Krishna are determined to make an impact for India.
Krishna, who has already represented India in 14 ODIs, has shown his potential as a wicket-taker with 25 wickets to his name. His impressive average of 23.92 and strike rate of 26.9 make him a valuable asset to the Indian team. This T20I debut gives Krishna the opportunity to prove his versatility and contribute to the team’s success in a different format of the game.
On the other hand, Rinku Singh will be playing his first ever international match. This is a significant milestone in his cricketing career, and he will be eager to make a memorable debut for his country. As a batter, Rinku Singh has displayed talent and potential in domestic cricket and Indian Premier League, and now he has the chance to translate that into international success.
In the match, Bumrah won the toss and elected to bowl against Ireland.
Ireland also made a change to their playing XI by including pacer Craig Young.
