Jai Moondra

Jai Moondra is a left arm fast medium bowler and lower order left hand batter who has emerged as an interesting addition to Ireland’s ODI squad. Born on 10 January 1997 in Tonk, Rajasthan, he moved to Ireland in 2021 and worked his way into the Irish cricket system through Leinster Lightning and other domestic appearances. His height, pace, and natural angle make him a useful new ball option, while his left hand batting gives the side a little extra depth down the order.

In ODIs, Moondra offers Ireland a wicket taking seam option who can create early pressure and break partnerships with the new ball. He first drew wider attention with his breakthrough in international cricket, where he quickly showed the ability to trouble top order batters and contribute in limited overs. As Ireland continues to build a stronger pace attack, Moondra’s journey from domestic cricket to the national side reflects both persistence and adaptability, and he is viewed as a promising bowler for the team’s future white ball plans.He brings energy in the field and can be a useful option in pressure situations because of his control with the new ball. With more experience at the international level, he could become an important part of Ireland’s pace attack in the ODI format.
