NEW DELHI: Nearly 11 months after limping off the field, Jasprit Bumrah will be the centre of attention when he captains India against Ireland. The three-match T20 International series, which begins in Dublin on Friday, will put the fast bowler's stamina and fitness to the test.
Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rinku Singh, and Jitesh Sharma are among the many Gen-Next IPL stars on the team, but many involved in Indian cricket will be closely watching Bumrah since he will be crucial to the home team's strategy during the ODI World Cup, which begins in less than two months.
