India won the first T20 match between India and Ireland. India won by two runs under the DLS rule. Star bowler Jasprit Bumrah, who came to the cricket ground following a year, led India.
The Indian team witnessed Bumrah’s excellent performance as a captain and a bowler. The player conceded 24 runs and took two wickets in the match.
Latest reports suggest that following the match, Bumrah will become the vice-captain of the team in the Asia Cup and World Cup. Bumrah will replace current vice-captain all-rounder Hardik Pandya as vice-captain. This is reported by PTI.
After last year’s T20 World Cup, Hardik is the vice-captain of the Indian team. Hardik is captain Rohit Sharma’s deputy in T20 and ODIs. After Rohit, this all-rounder is the main one who is being considered for the captaincy of the Indian team.
The player led the Gujarat Titans in an excellent manner in the IPL. Gujarat, who were champions in the first season, were runners-up in the second season.
But following the recently concluded West Indies series, Hardik’s captaincy was questioned. India had lost 3-2 in the five-match T20I series once morest West Indies. Fans questioned some of the player’s decisions on the field and attributed Gujarat’s success to coach Ashish Nehra.
BCCI sources said that Bumrah is senior to Hardik in captaincy and he has led India in Tests, PTI reported. The source added that it should not be surprising if the star is seen as vice-captain in the Asia Cup and the World Cup.
Bumrah, who led the Test team in 2022, is ahead of Pandya in terms of captaincy. He also served as ODI vice-captain before Pandya on the tour of South Africa.
Don’t be surprised to see Bumrah as Rohit’s understudy in Asia Cup and World Cup. There was a reason behind the star being made the captain instead of Rituraj in the Ireland series,’ Source told PTI on condition of anonymity.
The second T20 match of the India Ireland series will be played today. There are three matches in the series.
