Batting goes to shambles as India lose by one run against Irish pluck

Batting goes to shambles as India lose by one run against Irish pluck

Published by Webster

5 min readJun 28, 2026 11:17 PM IST Having gone 16 consecutive series without losing, which included laying hands on two T20 World Cups in 2024 and 2026, India’s proud run came to a grinding halt at Belfast against Ireland. If the defeat in the first T20I on Friday came as a shock, on Sunday Ireland held their nerve when Harshit Rana threatened a heist as they won by one run to take the series 2-0. Prior to Friday, India hadn’t lost any match to Ireland. In three days they have lost two and a series. And it is another ignominious feat for head coach Gautam Gambhir, who has seen a few lows in his stint so far. Next up lies England on Wednesday and to recover the lost face, India may well have to turn to 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. For the second outing in a row, the established India batting unit failed to chase a target that was within their reach. Troubling them again was Jai Moondra, the left-arm seamer who is waiting to …

Janhvi Kapoor, who made her debut in 2018 with Dhadak, has been in the spotlight throughout the year—thanks to multiple film releases and Homebound becoming India’s official entry to the Oscars. Ever since her debut, which came just months after the death of her mother, Sridevi, Janhvi has consistently taken up projects that push her as an actor —be it Gunjan Saxena, Good Luck Jerry, Mili, or Mr and Mrs Mahi. Yet for the longest time, she felt that despite the opportunities and fame, she still hadn’t earned people’s respect. That, she now says, has changed. In 2023, during an interview with Barkha Dutt for Mojo Story, Janhvi had confessed that she craved respect. In her recent appearance on the same show, she shared how her perspective has evolved. She now firmly believes that “nobody will respect you until you respect yourself.” “Over the past couple of years, one thing I have learnt for sure is that unless you respect yourself, nobody else will,” she said. “Fame came easy to me because of whose daughter …

Many, including Booth, have questioned South Africa’s qualification to the final when they have played so many two-match series’ and did not face England or Australia at all in the two-year cycle.
