Jasprit Bumrah's Stellar Return Guides India to Opening T20I Win

India secured victory in the first of three T20Is against Ireland in Malahide, Durban

Winning by two runs through the DLS method after rain affected the seventh over of Ireland's chase.

Pace leader Jasprit Bumrah marked a remarkable return, restricting Ireland to a modest 139 for seven.

Leading the team after an 11-month break, Bumrah took 2/24

Fellow pacer Prasidh Krishna (2/32) and spinner Ravi Bishnoi (2/23) also claimed two wickets each.

While India had lost two wickets within the first over after the powerplay, rain intervened

At the interruption, India was two runs ahead, resulting in the tourists taking a 1-0 lead in the series.
