The Indian cricket team locked horns with the Ireland team for the first T20I of the 2-match series in Dublin on Wednesday and after winning the toss, the Irish skipper Gary Wilson elected to bowl, reasoning that in this venue its difficult for the teams to defend the total. However, the Indian scoreline is suggesting that Wilson’s decision became all wrong as the Indian openers gave a dream starts by registering an opening partnership of 150+.

Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan opened the innings for India and they amassed 59 runs in the powerplay. They went on to make the partnership of 160 runs, its India’s second highest partnership for any wicket.

However, the 15th over of the match was a bit eventful, as it not only witnessed two huge sixes by both the Indian openers but also the dropped catch of Rohit. The over was bowled by George Dockrell and he got smashed for 15 runs in the overs.

On the first ball of the over Dhawan smashed a huge six over cow corner, while on the third bowl of the over Rohit leave the stumps and tried to smash one over the deep extra cover boundary only to find a fielder inside the boundary, who dropped a sitter.

Rohit smashed a six on the second last ball of the over, over deep mid-wicket which became an insult to injury for the bowler. Here is the video of the over:
