India will be desperate to bounce back in Sunday\u2019s second T20I against Ireland after suffering a 34\u2011run defeat in the opening match at the Civil Service Cricket Club in Stormont. It was also India\u2019s first\u2011ever loss to Ireland in international cricket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt feels really good. At the same time, it\u2019s a responsibility. As I\u2019ve already captained in the age-group categories and recently led an India A side, whatever inputs I have, I\u2019m sharing them on the field.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cEven in the last match, I shared whatever little I could as vice-captain. But unfortunately, the result didn\u2019t go our way. Hopefully, we\u2019ve got another match now, and we\u2019re looking to win it and level the series,\u201d said Tilak in a pre-game chat with the broadcasters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
For Sunday\u2019s game, India have handed debuts to seam-bowling all-rounder Suryansh Shedge and pacer Prince Yadav, who had great IPL 2026 seasons for Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants respectively. Prince had made his ODI debut against Afghanistan earlier this month.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cOne match doesn\u2019t define this team. So whatever confidence you have - whether it\u2019s about hitting the very first ball or going for a wicket with your very first ball - you can back yourself and play fearless cricket,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
