Fans on Twitter reacted after India thrashed Ireland in their first game of the T20 World Cup 2024. In what was a Group A clash, the Rohit Sharma-led side won the game by eight wickets at the Nassau County International Stadium in New York.
Indian bowlers were all over the Ireland batters right from the start. Arshdeep Singh removed both the Ireland openers Paul Stirling (2) and Andrew Balbirine (2) in his first two overs as he swung the ball well and troubled the batters.
However, after that pacers chipped in and didn’t let the Irish batters get going at all. Gareth Delany (26) looked the only settled batter and gave his best for the team. But Indian bowlers were all over the batters as they bundled them out for just 96 runs in 16 overs.
For India, Hardik Pandya was the pick of the bowlers with his figures of 3/27. Apart from him, Arshdeep Singh and Jasprit Bumrah also bagged two wickets while Mohammed Siraj and Axar Patel also picked one wicket each at the Nassau County International Stadium in New York.
In the chase, India didn’t have a great start as Virat Kohli (1) perished early. But after that skipper Rohit Sharma (52 retired out) played a magnificent innings for his team. The captain scored a valiant half-century and took his team close to target.
Keeper-batter Rishabh Pant (36*) supported him well as the duo added 54 runs for the second wicket. The keeper-batter remained unbeaten and took his team home as India chased the target with eight wickets.

Rohit Sharma will go into the Ind-Pak game with a fighting 50.

Garbage pitch, Rohit & Pant played pretty well here irrespective of the opponent.

Just get the runs and end this for today at least. Seen too many batters get hit too often for such a short game. Pitch rating must be interesting.

This US leg of the World Cup is a joke.

The conditions - pitch and outfield - are neither safe nor suitable for any level of cricket.
