India Set for Changes Including Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Debut in 2nd T20I vs IrelandPreviousNext

India will face Ireland in the second T20I at Belfast's Civil Service Cricket Club on June 28, aiming to level the two-match series after a 34-run loss in the opener. India is expected to make three changes, including the likely debut of 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who could become the youngest Indian international cricketer. Changes may involve adjustments in batting and bowling, with possible replacements for Sanju Samson or Washington Sundar as India seeks to bounce back.
