Indian captain Shreyas Iyer won the toss and decided to field first.

The India vs Ireland 1st T20I match will start at 6 PM IST. The live telecast will be available on Sony Sports Network, while the live streaming will be available on the Sony LIV app and website.

Seamers should get some assistance from the overcast conditions. The pitch might be sluggish in nature but batters will likely to have an easy time as time goes on.

"Vaibhav is here for the first time (in a senior team environment). I have seen him in the U19. But I think he is an outstanding talent. We all know how he is playing in IPL."

"I am sure that he will get his dues and his opportunities. So I do not think that just to give him an opportunity, we should drop someone who has already been scoring runs. That also would not be right. Obviously, it depends on the team management that what we plan to do in this match, which is a different thing. But I think it is a very thin line between trying to give somebody an opportunity and you are being unfair to some other player,"
