India is set to take on Ireland in a two-match T20 International series in Dublin, starting on Sunday. With most of the usual starters off for Test duty in England, this series would give several members of the Hardik Pandya-led side a chance to impress the selectors for the T20 World Cup in Australia later on. Here are the top five players to look out for in this series from both sides. Dinesh Karthik A lot has been written about Dinesh Karthik’s phoenix-like comeback to the national side. A phenomenal IPL performance backed up by solid returns in the recently concluded South Africa series means the Tamil Nadu wicketkeeper-batter might be India’s X-factor for the T20 World Cup in October. With Rishabh Pant joining the Test team in England, Karthik might also take up his usual position behind the stumps. The RCB man would be hoping to continue to thrive as his side’s finisher, a task he seems to be doing as well as anyone in the world today.
