India Player Ratings: Top Order Fails in Ireland T20I Shock Defeat

India’s first T20I series since defending the World Cup ended in disaster as Ireland whitewashed the tourists in a two-match series. Shreyas Iyer captained the side on his return, but the batting unit crumbled under pressure.

Sanju Samson, fresh from a stellar World Cup, managed just 5 runs across two innings and was dismissed for a golden duck in the decider. He earned 3/10 for his wicketkeeping. Abhishek Sharma was the lone bright spot, smashing 49 off 20 in the first match, but fell for a duck in the second, finishing with 7/10. Ishan Kishan, returning in form, scored only 13 runs at a strike rate of 81.25, earning 2/10.
