IND Vs IRE T20 World Cup: It was a brilliant day for the Indian side as they completely dominated Ireland in their opening ICC T20 World Cup 2024 match. A one-sided dominant victory was the perfect start they could have asked for.
The bowling department was solid and bundled out Ireland on just 97 runs. Hardik Pandya was brilliant and took three wickets while Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh took 2 wickets each.
While chasing, India might have lost Virat Kohli early in the innings. But Rohit Sharma scored a brilliant century and Rishabh Pant provided solid support to see a comfortable victory for India.
Another Milestone Reached
The Indian skipper completed two milestones in this match. Before this match, he needed 26 runs to complete 4000 T20I runs and 37 runs to complete 1000 runs in T20 World Cups.
And he achieved both of them in style. He achieved the 4000 run milestone when he hit a boundary over backward point off Joshua Little in the sixth over of the match. He is only the second Indian batsman after Kohli to complete this milestone.
Joshua Little was once again the target when Hitman hit two back-to-back sixes against him to reach the 1000 runs in T20 World Cups. Rohit is now the third-highest scorer in T20 World Cups with 1015 runs and trails Mahela Jayawardene by just 1 run. Kohli tops this list with 1142 runs.
Injury Scare During IND Vs IRE T20 World Cup Match
Even though it was a sensational inning, the end of the inning came with a scare. Rohit Sharma was not out but had to retire hurt because of a delivery that hit his shoulder. The Hitman was in pain and walked out of the ground.
Thankfully, the injury was not that serious as stated by the Indian skipper in the post-match interview. He stated that it is just a little soar and will be better in a few days.
