India vs Ireland 1st T20I Live Cricket Score: Among the few matches Jasprit Bumrah was able to play in 2022 before his long injury break was the postponed fifth Test against England. There, he made his international captaincy debut. Now he returns to make his limited overs captaincy debut in a location geographically close to England. India are the overwhelming favourites in this series, especially if we consider that Bumrah has truly returned to full fitness. They have dominated the head to head record against Ireland in T20Is thus far and will be hoping to continue the same in this three-match series.

India vs Ireland 1st T20I Live Cricket Score: India vs Ireland head-to-head record
India and Ireland have played five T20Is against each other. All of those matches have been won by India in rather one-sided contests. Their first win came in 2009 by eight wickets, then they beat Ireland by 76 runs, 143 runs and 7 wickets. Their most recent win, though, was only by four runs and that was Ireland when they gave India an almighty scare and almost chased down a target of 226.

India vs Ireland Live score: Rain check
Now there is one thing standing, or potentially pouring between Bumrah and his return. It is not the myriad selection experiments that India seem to be embarking on relentlessly just a few days before the World Cup (no better time to do said experiments after all). Instead, it is that old scourge of cricket matches across formats – rain. There are dark clouds hovering over The Village, which is what the Malahide Cricket Club ground is called of course.

India vs Ireland 1st T20I Live Cricket Score: Ireland’s change of guard
Paul Sterling returns as captain from this series for Ireland after Andrew Balbirnie stepped down following their failed World Cup qualification campaign. Ireland bounced from that disappointment by qualifying for the 2024 T20 World Cup.

India vs Ireland Live score: More Tilak and Jaiswal?
India may have been stunned by the West Indies but two of their young debutant batters – Yashasvi Jaiswal and Tilak Varma, had great outings. While Tilak was consistently good throughout the series, Jaiwal fell for single digit scores in two of his three innings. However, he scored an unbeaten 84 off 51 in a masterclass of an innings to help India to a nine-wicket win in the fourth T20I. There is a good chance that these two batters will be among the first names in the team sheet for this series.

IND vs IRE 1st T20I Live: Rinku Singh
Kolkata Knight Riders may not have had a great time in IPL 2023 but whatever victories they did get were often thanks to Rinku Singh’s miraculous finishing acts. He got the endorsement of Andre Russell in that department and finally, he has now been included in the Indian T20 team. It remains to be seen if he will get a chance in the series though.

India vs Ireland 1st T20I Live Cricket Score: The last time Bumrah captained India…
He took five wickets, three in the first innings and two in the second and, arguably more notably, smashed an unbeaten 31 in 16 balls in a Test match. He was responsible for grizzled England veteran Stuart Broad, who had already been hit for six sixes in a T20I at the start of his career, to concede 35 runs in an over which made it the most expensive one in the history of Test cricket. But, India got their first, and thus far only, dose of Bazball in that match and ended up losing by 7 wickets. Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow’s unbeaten scores 142 and 114 respectively helped them chase down a target of 378 like it was nothing.
India vs Ireland Live score: Jasprit Bumrah on his return
“I was bowling normally [in the nets]. It’s not like I am holding back. I am enjoying it quite a lot. I’ve done a lot of net sessions here. When my rehabilitation ended, I went home too and even practiced with the Gujarat team. I’ve done a lot of net sessions in a lot of places, and even played a lot of practice matches. So it’s not like I am bowling with a restriction or I am holding back.”

India vs Ireland 1st T20I Live Score: Hello and welcome!
It has been 11 months since the ace fast bowler played any kind of top level cricket and while India may be overwhelming favourites in this series, there will arguably be more eyes on how Bumrah will hold up. Unless, of course, Ireland do something extraordinary. Indian fans had expected their side to run the West Indies over in the T20I series and we all know how that turned out. Can this series end up being more than Jasprit Bumrah’s display of fitness?
