T20 World Cup: Rohit-Virat To Open; Four Seamers, Two Spinners Picked As India Elect To Bowl Against Ireland
Nassau County International Cricket Stadium: Captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli form the opening combination for India as the 2007 champions won the toss and elected to bowl first against Ireland in their first Group A match of the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium here on Wednesday.
India have won all of their previous seven T20I games against Ireland, and have chosen to pick four fast-bowling options, including vice-captain Hardik Pandya. India have also picked two spinners in left-armers Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja, which means there’s no room for wrist-spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal.
"Our preparation has been all right, it has been quite challenging but we are professionals and you've got to get on with what's in front of you. We played on a similar pitch in our warm-up game against Bangladesh so I do think we know what to expect from the conditions. At the end of the day, you've got to use your experience and adapt to the day."
