India absolutely dominated over Ireland in their tournament opener at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York with the help of a stunning cameo and match-winning maximum by none other than Rishabh Pant.

Pant's return to the Indian-side has truly been remarkable, he looked in absolutely fine touch in their warm-up game against Bangladesh and he continued that momentum by taking it to this clash too. He scored unbeaten 36 runs off 26 balls with a good strike rate of 138.46.

In the 13th over, McCarthy bowled a good length delivery pitching outside the off stump, Pant decided to go for a reverse scoop and hit it off the face of the bat. He got the desired elevation and the distance as well and the ball thumped just below the sightscreen behind the keeper. The shot was so outrageous that the Irishman could not believe his eyes.

With this maximum, India registered their first win of the T20 World Cup 2024 after defeating Paul Stirling's Ireland by 8 wickets. This win can largely be credited to the stunning bowling display by the Arshdeep Singh,Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Siraj, who each scalped wickets and restricted the opposition for just 96 runs.
