India head into the 2-match T20I series against Ireland with the momentum gained from the drawn South Africa series. These two games present India's fringe players a chance to stake a late claim for a World T20 squad place, while the regulars like Hardik Pandya, Ishan Kishan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, etc will want to fine tune their skills in the build up to the much vaunted event in Australia.

Other big talking points include possible debuts for explosive top-order batter Rahul Tripathi and extreme pacer Umran Malik. Fans will be quite excited to see the x-factor duo get their much deserved shot in India colours.
