After a 2-2 drawn series vs South Africa, in which they came back from being 0-2 down and one which didn't have a winner because of a rained out decider, Team India's next international assignment is a tour of Ireland where they will play two T20Is on the 26th and 28th of this month in Dublin.
With a few of the big guns rested, the man chosen to lead the 17-man Indian squad for this tour is Hardik Pandya, who till just a short while back was struggling to bowl, wasn't really effective with the bat and was then on the sidelines, with nagging lower back issues. It's something that has plagued him for a long time. He underwent back surgery in London in 2019, before the injury came back to haunt him again.
