Rinku Singh makes his T20I debut for India against Ireland in the 1st T20I

Rinku's IPL antics with KKR last time earned him a prestigious slot on the Indian team, and the batsman from Uttar Pradesh would want to make this count. He blasted 474 runs in the cash-rich league and will be one player to watch out for alongside another debutant Prasidh Krishna.

Rinku got his Indian cap from Jasprit Bumrah, who is leading the young Men in Blue contingent in the three-match series.

Moments like these! ☺️

All set for their debuts in international cricket and T20I cricket respectively 👍 👍
