India pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah and Prasidh Krishna shone brightly on their return, but Barry McCarthy’s unbeaten fifty took Ireland to a competitive 139-7 in the opening T20I of the three-match series, here on Friday.

Bumrah, who spent 11 months away from the game due to a lower-back stress fracture, picked up 2-24, while Prasidh, who also was nursing a lower-back injury, scalped 2-32. Ravi Bishnoi (2-23) and Arshdeep Singh (1-35) also were among wickets.
