The Indian team will play a series of 2 T20 matches with Ireland. In this series, the versatile Hardik Pandya will be the captain of the Indian team. At the same time, former Indian Captain and BCCI Chairman Sourav Ganguly will also be going to watch this T20 match which will take place in Dublin. Actually, it was previously believed that Sourav Ganguly would be present at the Edgbaston ground during the India-England test, but now it is clear that he will watch the T20 match against Ireland and go to Dublin.
Significantly, in the T20 series against Ireland, Hardik Pandya will captain the Indian team. At the same time, during this time the head coach of the Indian team, Rahul Dravid, will not be with the team. Therefore, the head of the National Cricket Academy (NCA), VVS Laxman, will be the coach of the Indian team in the series against Ireland. The first T20 between Ireland and India will be played on Sunday, while the second T20 will be played on Tuesday. Both matches will be played in Dublin.
In fact, the Indian team is touring Ireland for the first time since 2018. This may prove to be a good opportunity for young Indian players. At the same time, Hardik Pandya, who was the captain of Gujarat Titans in IPL, has a better chance to prove himself internationally. Apart from this, this series is also considered very important for the Indian batsman Dinesh Karthik. If Dinesh Karthik succeeds in a strong performance in the series against Ireland, then this goalkeeper batsman’s claim will be strong in the upcoming T20 World Cup.
