Kal bhi match hai kya??

Chahal, Player of the Match: Very difficult (in these cold conditions). I felt like a finger spinner today (smiles). Sometimes it's hard but you have to adapt to every conditions. He (Hardik) gave liberty to bowl whatever I want to bowl. Atmosphere is pretty chilled. No I'm not okay I'm wearing three sweaters right now.

Pandya, India captain: Great to start a series with a win. For us as a team it's very important to start with a win. Quite happy with it. He's been fantastic for his franchise (Umran Malik). But I felt, also had a chat with him, he'll be more comfortable with the older ball. Ireland batted fantastically, had to go back to our main bowlers. Maybe next game he'll have a full chance. Some of the shots he played were mindblowing (Tector).

Bhuvneshwar Kumar: Yes I did enjoy bowling. There was a bit of swing with the new ball. It was much better to bat after 4-5 overs. Doesn't matter what format it is, if you get these kind of wickets it is always good to bowl Test match line and length. Umran made his debut, few more yet to make, so we have a lot of exciting talent. This is the kind of format which produces many cricketers. Best part about our team is wherever we go people come out to support us.

Plenty of fireworks from India in that chase. They've raced home with 16 balls to spare in a 12-over game. Ishan Kishan started off the carnage with some brutal shots, and Hooda and Pandya followed with more of the same. It was a good recovery from Ireland earlier to post 108. They had slipped to 22/3 inside four overs, before Tector smashed 64 off 33 balls. There was movement on offer right through the game on a pitch freshened by the rain. But these short boundaries, the ball flew everywhere. Except India had two bowlers who made the difference with superb spells - Bhuvi and Chahal showing their class.

Congratulations to team India for winning the first match.🥳

108 is not a bad score, but India has shown its mettle by winning it in style. 👍🏼
