IRE vs IND: 3 Indian Players Who Might Be Benched Throughout The Series Against Ireland

3. Rahul Tripathi

Rahul Tripathi is the first player on this list. This is the first time that Rahul Tripathi has been given a chance on the national team. Usually, uncapped players do not get a chance to play on their first-ever tour.

Moreover, Venkatesh Iyer is also a middle-order batsman and he might get a chance to bat in the middle instead of Rahul Tripathi. So there is a big chance that Rahul Tripathi might not get a chance to play in the IRE vs IND series.

2. Sanju Samson

Sanju Samson is another player on this list. India has three wicketkeepers in the squad namely Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan, and Dinesh Karthik. Since Ishan Kishan is going to be one of the openers, he is highly likely to play both games.

Dinesh Karthik has impressed with his match-winning performance in the previous series. Moreover, he is also considered a better and more experienced wicketkeeper than Sanju Samson. Hence, since both Dinesh and Ishan are highly likely to be part of playing XI, Sanju Samson might have to warm the bench during the IRE vs IND series.

1. Ravi Bishnoi

Ravi Bishnoi is another player on this list. Pitches in Ireland are not spin-friendly and hence spinners might not hold a lot of value in the matches. Yuzvendra Chahal might be the primary spinner in the games and Axar Patel might be preferred due to his ability to bat.

Due to the presence of Chahal and Axar, Bishnoi might be overlooked in both games. Hence, the leg spinner might have to warm the bench in the IRE vs IND series.
