IRE vs IND Dream11 Prediction: Dream11 Team Today, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report, Injury Update - India Tour of Ireland 2026, 1st T20I

India begin their Ireland tour with the first T20I and will be playing their first T20I series after lifting the T20 World Cup title. The team looks different this time, with Shreyas Iyer named as the new captain in place of Suryakumar Yadav. The young sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi is also likely to make his international debut at the age of 15, and he should definitely be a part of the IRE vs IND Dream11 prediction.

Several players have been included after strong performances in the IPL. India’s fast-bowling unit features Harshit Rana, Prince Yadav, and Arshdeep Singh, while Ravi Bishnoi and Washington Sundar will handle the spin duties.

Ireland, led by Lorcan Tucker, will aim for a fresh start after a difficult T20 World Cup campaign. They won only one of their four matches and ended fourth in their group. Playing at home, Ireland will look to leave those results behind and begin the series with a strong performance against one of the best cricket teams in the world, India.
