A lot will be riding on the shoulders of the right-handed batsman

This opening batsman, who is considered to be one of the best cricketers to don the Irish jersey, will be an integral part of their plans once again as they take on the Men in Blue on Wednesday.

Paul Stirling has played 48 T20 internationals for Ireland to date, notching up eight 50-plus scores with a batting average of almost 27. His current form will infuse the Irish fans with optimism, more so considering his consistency in both county cricket as well as international fixtures.

His off-break bowling might even come in handy for Wilson against India, who will play multiple left-handers in the likes of Shikhar Dhawan and Suresh Raina in their batting order.
