Jasprit Bumrah was an interesting choice for the Player of the Match award following India’s eight-wicket hammering of Ireland on Wednesday.

By the time he came on as first change in the sixth over, Ireland were already in trouble at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, floundering at 26 for two after Arshdeep Singh had rocked them with the twin scalps of openers Paul Stirling and Andy Balbirnie in the third over. Arshdeep faded away after that bright beginning, conceding 13 in his third over and 19 in his last on his way to figures of two for 35, though he alone contributed 36.46 per cent of Ireland’s tally of 96.
