India and Ireland met in the
second T20I of the two-match series at the Malahide Cricket Club ground in
Dublin on June 28, 2022. India had won the first T20I on June 26 and had a 1-0
lead coming into this match.
Hardik Pandya continued his
toss-winning streak and decided to bat first this time in the second match.
India made three changes for the second T20I against Ireland – Ruturaj Gaikwad
continued his recovery from a calf injury and hence Sanju Samson was called up;
Harshal Patel was brought in place of Avesh Khan while Ravi Bishnoi was given
an opportunity in place of Yuzvendra Chahal.
Ishan Kishan was the first
wicket to fall, for 3 runs only. Then Sanju Samson was joined by Deepak Hooda
in the middle and a bloodbath followed. The duo added 176 runs for the second
wicket as Ireland’s bowlers looked hapless against the two batters.
Sanju Samson scored his maiden
T20I fifty and got out on 77 in 42 balls with 9 fours and 4 sixes. Hooda, on
the other hand, continued the carnage, as he ended up making 104 with 9 fours
and 6 sixes to his name.
India finished on 225/7 in 20 overs with Ireland’s Mark Adair picking 3 wickets.
