India vs Ireland: Jasprit Bumrah returns in style; says 'didn't feel I missed out a lot'

Jasprit Bumrah made a winning return to international cricket as India narrowly edged Ireland by 2 runs (DLS method) to win the first T20I in Dublin on Friday. The win gave India a 1-0 lead in three-match series.

Most importantly, though, Bumrah, making his first appearance in 11 months, picked up two wickets – both in the very first over – and took home the Player of the Match honours.

Bumrah got things underway against Ireland by conceding a boundary. The low floater was easily cracked towards square-leg by former Ireland captain Andrew Balbirnie.

But Bumrah roared back and got the better of Balbirnie with an in-swinger which beat the bat, missed the pad and went on to clatter into the stumps. Balbirnie looked to drive the delivery which landed outside off but was left surprised by the inward movement.

What a start from the #TeamIndia captain
