Five Indian players who can make a big difference in the T20Is against Ireland
Indian players will be in action again in the shortest format of the game as they are scheduled to play a two-match T20I series against Ireland. The series will kick off on 26 June 2022. As both Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant are busy with the Test Team while KL Rahul is out due to a groin injury, Hardik Pandya had been appointed the captain for this series.
In the recently concluded T20I series against South Africa at home, a young squad was selected by resting big names like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Jasprit Bumrah. In this series, the same bunch of players had been continued along with some new names like Rahul Tripathi. Only, Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer will be missed as they are now in the Test squad. Hence, this series will be a perfect platform for some players to showcase and become a difference ahead of the preparation for the upcoming T20 World Cup, later this year.

The whole cricketing world was in shock when Rahul Tripathi did not get a call to the Indian Team during their series against the Proteas. However, he had now received his maiden call for this Ireland Tour and he will look to deliver some good performances.
He had an excellent Indian T20 League season for his Hyderabad franchise as he scored 413 runs in 14 matches at an average of 37.54. While batting at number three, he gave some stability to the batting line-up of Hyderabad.
