3 Indian Players Who Can Make Their T20 International Debut In Ireland Series
3. Rinku Singh
Rinku Singh is the first player on this list. The left-handed batsman has not played any international game so far. Rinku Singh has grabbed a berth in the national team after his impeccable batting show in IPL 2023.
Smashing 450-plus runs in IPL 2023, he finished as the leading run-getter for the team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Also, the middle-order batsman slammed 29 sixes across 14 games and held a strike rate of 149+ while batting.
All the crucial middle-order batters are rested in India vs Ireland T20I series. Hence, Rinku Singh will definitely get opportunities to showcase his might on Irish soil. Therefore, the 24-year-old batter is likely to make his international as well as T20I international debut during the series.
2. Jitesh Sharma
Jitesh Sharma has been picked as a backup wicketkeeper in the Ireland series. Sanju Samson will be the primary keeper. However, since IND vs IRE series consists of three games, Jitesh Sharma might get a chance to play one game.
In IPL 2023, Sharma slammed 309 runs in 14 games for Punjab Kings at a stunning strike rate of 156+. He slammed 21 sixes in the season. Batting in the lower order, the 29-year-old proved he has the ability to smash big shots from the start itself.
The right-handed batsman was part of the national squad in the T20I series against Sri Lanka earlier this year. However, the Punjab player is yet to make his international debut. If he is picked in the playing XI during India vs Ireland T20I series, he will make his T20 international debut and play in an Indian jersey for the first time.

1. Prasidh Krishna
Prasidh Krishna is back on the field after recovering from a hamstring injury. The right-arm pacer made his international debut in March 2021, with an ODI against England.
The 27-year-old pacer has played 14 ODI games so far. He accounts for 25 scalps at an average of 23.92 and an economy of 5.32. The Rajasthan Royals seamer is yet to play any T20I game for India.
Prasidh Krishna was not picked in T20I squads in the past and only became a part of the team in some ODI series. However, before Asia Cup 2023 and ICC World Cup 2023, Krishna is getting an opportunity to showcase his fitness during the IND vs IRE T20I series.
Krishna can be one of the reserve players in ICC World Cup 2023, if not a part of the squad. However, selectors can only decide after watching him play against Ireland. If Prasidh Krishna plays any encounter in the series, he will play his first T20I game for India.
