Ishan Kishan was sent off by aggressive pacer Mark Adair in the third over of the second ODI. Ishan Kishan has not performed well in the Ireland series but the smashing innings against South Africa in India made his expectations higher but the young keeper was not able to take on the Ireland bowling unit.
Ishan Kishan decided to step out for a smashing hit but Mark Adair’s pace forced the bat to hit an edge to which the wicket-keeper took an amazing catch.
Deepak Hooda moves up to come and bat at the first down after smashing a terrific knock of 47 runs while opening for team India in the first T20I.
India won the toss and opted to bat first which was a reasonable decision to give advantage to the Hardik-led team’s batting unit to put up a score which can break records in the ICC history.
India managed to smash the target of 109 runs in just 9 easy overs which gives a perfect balance to team India and the attacking visitors have proved their capability to smash at least 200 runs in 20 overs, if not more.
Hardik Pandya and their side are playing with 3 tactical changes as Ruturaj’s niggle in the previous game gives Sanju Samson an opportunity to prove his comeback. Harshal Patel will be replacing Avesh Khan for some slower and magical deliveries, and young spinner Ravi Bishnoi gets an opportunity to take hold of the position in place of Yuzvendra Chahal.
