Ireland vs India 2018, T20I series: 3 possible Irish threats for India

#1 Kevin O’ Brien’s all-round abilities

Kevin O Brien

Everyone will remember Kevin O Brien from his brilliance against England in the ICC Cricket World Cup in 2011, where his century propelled Ireland to success. More than the importance of the knock, it was the manner in which he went about his batting which impressed the cricketing world.

Kevin O'Brien’s biggest strength seems to be the fact that he is unperturbed by any big occasion. That was visible in his century against England or more recently when he became Ireland's first test centurion in their historic test debut.

It is this very quality which Ireland will look to capitalize or make use of in this two matches T20I series. Ireland are up against some of the best players in the world and they will want the likes of Kevin O' Brien to deliver a strong performance with both bat and ball.

Not only them but everyone watching this series would want it to be a closely fought one and for that to happen the likes of Kevin O Brien and Paul Stirling should have two good, productive games. The threat when Kevin gets going is a known fact, so India would need to be wary about that.
