Tilak Varma hits slowest T20I fifty for India in one-run loss to Ireland

India suffered a narrow one-run defeat to Ireland in a T20I match, with Tilak Varma's half-century standing out as the only notable highlight. Varma came to the crease during a top-order collapse and fought through difficult conditions to reach his fifty, though it ranks among the slowest by an Indian batter in the format. Despite his resilience, the knock was not enough to steer India to victory. Ireland capitalised on the win to claim a historic series victory over India. The result also brought an end to India's impressive winning streak in the format.
