Rohit Sharma believes that if the Indian team manages to win the ongoing T20 International series against Ireland 2-0, it would be a huge boost in confidence for the team before the all-important England tour. Sharma returned to form in the first T20I against Ireland, scoring 97 runs 61 balls.

Rohit felt that the win in the second T20I would be a massive confidence booster for the team ahead of the crucial England tour, which starts on July 3. Speaking to Shikhar Dhawan during a chat which was posted by BCCI.tv, Sharma reiterated the fact that playing the 'Three Lions' in their backyard would be 'challenging prospect', so they would look to sign off in Ireland with a victory and take that momentum over to the England series.

"After this (second T20I) we have a challenging tour against England, so this is a good preparation for the England tour. And hopefully, if we perform good against Ireland in the second match, a victory will give us confidence for the England tour," Sharma said.

Sharma returned to form stunning style as he slammed a majestic 97 in the first match to help the visitors win by 76 runs. Commenting upon his own form, Sharma said, "It felt good playing for India after a long time. We strung together a big partnership and won the match."

India take on Ireland in the second match on Friday, which has been scheduled to be played at the Malahide Cricket Club Ground in Dublin.
