I am very lucky. My role is simple.

IND vs IRE Live: Batting first or chasing better?
If we talk about the results of the matches in Dublin, then the team chasing runs here has been in advantage. The team batting second has won eight out of 14 matches. The average score while batting first is 162 and while chasing is 161. During the 2018 series, India had won both the matches by batting first. Ireland, on the other hand, have won two of the eight matches in Dublin and that win has been against Scotland.

IND vs IRE Live: Will Bishnoi or Axar bowl with Chahal?
Spinners Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav took 13 out of 28 wickets in the two-match series against Ireland in 2018. During this, 87 runs were given in 14.3 overs. Then the Ireland batsmen were seen under pressure against the wrist spinners. Now there is no Kuldeep in the team, but this time the pairing of leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi can be made with Chahal.
Young Bishnoi has taken four wickets in T20 matches. In such a situation, the selectors will keep an eye on their performance. However, Axar bowled brilliantly in the previous series against South Africa. Along with this, he also bats in the lower order. In such a situation, it will be a matter to be seen that the team management gives a chance between Akshar and Bishnoi.

IND vs IRE Live: All eyes on Dinesh Karthik and Samson
All eyes will be on Sanju Samson and opener batsman Rituraj Gaikwad in the series against Ireland. Samson has not been able to establish himself in T20 even after getting many opportunities. In such a situation, the opportunity will be important for them.
At the same time, if Rituraj gets a chance, then there will be pressure on him. In the last series against South Africa, he looked uncomfortable in front of the fast bowlers. He could only score one fifty in four matches. In such a situation, Rahul Tripathi can also be given a chance.
Apart from this, Suryakumar Yadav, who has returned from a wrist injury, is likely to bat at No. 3 or 4. Ishan Kishan did a fantastic job against South Africa and he would like to carry on that momentum. Dinesh Karthik was in excellent form against South Africa. He also scored his first half-century of T20 Internationals. In such a situation, he would like to continue batting brilliantly.

IPL champions Gujarat Titans captain and all-rounder Hardik has been handed over the reins of the team due to senior players Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant being busy on the England tour and Lokesh Rahul getting injured. He will be the ninth captain of India in T20.
According to statistics, a total of eight captains have captained in T20 matches so far and except Virat Kohli and Pant, all have won their first match. Therefore, Pandya would like to retain the captaincy record by winning this match.
