This is not the first time Tector has impressed against big teams. He had also scored 3 back to back half-centuries in Ireland`s ODI series win vs West Indies earlier this year and had also made 79 vs South Africa last year

Ireland batsman Harry Tector was the hosts lone bright spot in the first T20I against India. His brutal knock of 64* from 33 balls in a rain affected game gave the Irish bowlers something to bowl at. However, it was all for nought in the end as India cruised to a victory.
Nevertheless, Tector caught the eye of India`s captain Hardik Pandya. According to IANS, in the post match presentation, Pandya said, "He played some fantastic shots, and obviously, he`s 22, I`ve given him a bat as well, so maybe he can score some more sixes and maybe get an IPL contract, and I wish him luck."
