The first match of India’s tour of Ireland was played at The Village yesterday. India narrowly escaped by two runs under the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern rule in the rain-soaked match.
After winning the toss, India sent the opponents into bat and restricted the hosts to 139 runs for the loss of seven wickets in the allotted overs. Barry McCarthy came in at number eight and scored a half-century to help the Irish team. McCarthy is the first player to achieve this record in T20Is once morest the Indian team.
It was McCarthy who brought Ireland, who looked like they might cross 100 at one point, to a manageable score. The player scored 51 runs not out in 33 balls.
Rain came in the seventh over of the Indian innings in which the reply was batting and ended the match.
The youngster Tilak Verma was not able to perform well in the match. The player returned for a golden duck in the third ball of the seventh over. Thilak got out following being caught by Lorcan Tucker off Craig Young.
After this, Tilak Verma has to face criticism and ridicule. A future star of India is being trolled by his own team’s fans.
The same Thilak Verma, who was the backbone of the team during India’s West Indies tour and won crucial matches, is being crucified for a flop in a match.
Thilak, who was India’s top scorer in the first match of the series, also completed his first career international half-century in the second match.
The player scored 39 (22), 51 (41), 49* (37), 7* (5) and 27 (18) in the West Indies tour. Tilak scored 173 runs at a strike rate of 140.65 and an average of 57.67. 15 boundaries and seven sixes were born from the star’s bat.
Apart from batting, the actor also tried his hand at bowling. Thilak took a wicket in the very second ball he bowled at the international level. Superstar Nicholas Pooran was also dismissed as the first wicket.
Even though things were like this, the fans were not ready to leave the star alone. Fans are saying that Thilak is just an IPL talent and not fit for international cricket even from this one match.
But Tilak’s supporters are not few. They also say that Tilak will return in the next match.
The next match of the series is on August 20. The venue itself is The Village.
