The Indian cricket team returned to action after a two-month break to compete in a five-match T20I series against South Africa earlier this month.
The series began on June 9 and concluded last night. Both teams shared the trophy as they won two T20Is each, with the series decider being abandoned due to rain.
The Men in Blue will travel to Ireland next. Hardik Pandya will make his captaincy debut for the Indian cricket team as they will lock horns with the Irishmen in two T20Is. It is India's first tour of Ireland since 2018.
Here is the schedule for that series:
June 26: India vs Ireland, 1st T20I, Dublin, 9:00 PM IST
June 28: India vs Ireland, 2nd T20I, Dublin, 9:00 PM IST
Team India have never lost an international match against Ireland. Looking at their recent performances against South Africa, the visitors will start as the favorites to win the two-match T20I series.
