The Indian team would like to try 'Bench Strength' in the second and final T20 International against Ireland here on Friday so that everyone can pitch for a challenging tour against England. India started the three-month long tour of Ireland and England with a superb win and won the first Twenty20 international by 76 runs in Ireland

Thanks to Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan's half centuries, India scored 208 for five wickets. Then Kuldeep Yadav and Yuswendra Chahal together took seven wickets and Ireland made 132 for nine wickets. This match indicates that India's favourite final eleven is playing well after three months of break and England is well prepared for the tour. But the biggest question is "Bench Strength" and it is about giving the opportunity to cricketers like Lokesh Rahul, Dinesh Karthik and Umesh Yadav.

Captain Virat Kohli said after the first T20 International match, "We are going to be using a lot in the middle order. We want everyone to play in the match and want to give them the opportunity to show their skills because many players go on tour and they do not get the chance to play.

India chose Rohit and Dhawan in the first option of the opening pair for the limited over the stage before the tour. It was confirmed that whenever he gets the chance, Rahul will be batting in the middle and it can happen in the next match too soon. Kohli's reaction does not make sense that India will make big changes even in the bowling attack.

Talking about the match, he had definitely said that "the changes are certain while watching the team". Yet there are some players who can not be held out like Rohit, Dhawan and Kohli himself, Dhoni and two leg spinners. India will benefit from the fact that the second T20 international match is expected to be similar in the same way as was the T20 earlier.

Kuldeep and Chahal succeeded in taking advantage of the pitch and Ireland captain Gary Wilson said that he did not make any difference either before bowling or later. At the same time, India can take the risk of lowering a batsman to include an extra bowler in the team.

The mantra of Kohli letting the bench players play can also be applied in the bowling attack, in which Umesh Yadav and Siddharth Kaul are desperate to do better. It can be seen clearly that the team management is not ready to take Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jaspreet Bumrah out of the box. Kohli was out on zero after playing two balls so that he would also like to spend some time on the crease.
