This series will see a new change in the Indian T20I team. Following Suryakumar Yadav’s removal as T20I captain, Shreyas Iyer has been appointed the new captain based on his stellar batting and excellent leadership over the last three IPL seasons.
All eyes will be on Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, as he is highly likely to make his international debut in the series. He has earned a spot in the national team following a stellar performance in IPL 2026, and if he gets the chance to play in tonight’s match, he will become the youngest player to represent India.
Speaking about Ireland, they are led by Lorcan Tucker in the series. They played a test match against New Zealand in May, losing by an innings and 79 runs.
Ireland were also part of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026, but suffered a first-round exit. So far, they have lost all 8 T20Is against India and will aim for their first victory in this series.
