IRE vs IND: Predicting India’s strongest playing XI for Ireland T20I series

Bowlers – Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Harshal Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Avesh Khan

The veteran pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been in a fine form during the South Africa series. He has accounted for 6 wickets in 3 matches at an economy rate of 6.41. He is likely to lead the Indian attack in the T20 series.

Harshal Patel has emerged as the new death specialist for India. The RCB pacer roared back to form in the 3rd game against the Proteas with a four-for. Patel will continue in his role in Ireland as well.

After the first two disappointing games, Yuzvendra Chahal claimed three wickets in the 3rd T20I against South Africa to get back to the groove. Yuzi is likely to lead the Indian spin attack in the IRE vs IND T20s as well.

Indian team management might be tempted to play Arshdeep Singh or Umran Malik in Ireland. However, they have shown faith in Avesh Khan during the South Africa T20I series and they might continue to do so.
