India defeated Ireland by 143 runs in the second T20I in Dublin on Friday to register their biggest victory in T20I cricket and win the two-match series 2-0. India's previous biggest win in T20I cricket had come in December last year when they defeated Sri Lanka by 93 runs. Further, India have now won five consecutive T20I series. Indian Cricket Team Captain Virat Kohli said, “All the boys have got a good hit. In the field as well, it has been great. I am having a severe headache right now who to pick. But it is a good problem to have for any side. The bench strength has shown in these games where we stand. It is a wonderful phase for India cricket. For us, the oppostion doesn't matter. If they (England) come hard, we have the batting to go hard as well. We feel if we are at our best, I think it is going to be a very exciting series. We have got to believe in our quality. The systemn has been laid, the benchmark has been set. We have a lot of mutual respect. We have to trust the players and the responsibility has been given to every player. Every one likes to have a go at the opposition. That takes the load off the team management.”
