Ireland completes a historic 2–0 T20I series win over reigning world champions India, with debutant Jai Moondra playing a central role in the landmark result. The left-arm fast bowler, born in Rajasthan, takes key wickets during the second match in Belfast, helping Ireland defend a narrow total in a one-run victory. Reports say Moondra dismisses major India batters, including Sanju Samson and Shreyas Iyer, and features among the standout performers across the series.
Moondra is named Player of the Match and Player of the Series following Ireland’s first-ever T20I series win against India. In accounts of his background, he is described as moving from Rajasthan to Ireland in 2021 to pursue an MTech degree, continuing to play club cricket while progressing through Ireland’s domestic setup. He later receives Irish citizenship in 2025 and earns his first international call-up for the T20I series against India—his birth country.
Across the coverage, Moondra describes the achievement in emotional terms, saying he is still processing the outcome and feels welcomed within the Ireland team.
