IND vs ZIM 1st T20I: After a historic T20 World Cup 2024 triumph in the Caribbean, India will now be looking to conquer Zimbabwe in the cricket’s shorter format. India made history in Barbados as they beat South Africa by seven runs. Following the epic clash, the Men in Blue’s top stars Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli announced their retirement from T20Is. In Rohit’s absence, Shubman Gill is set to lead a young India squad in Harare. The team will feature other upcoming stars including the likes of Rinku Singh and Abhishek Sharma. Gill and Rinku were two of the four reserves for India at the T20 World Cup. Given India will be missing most of its key players, the duo will be looking to guide the Men in Blue to a series triumph. National Cricket Academy chief VVS Laxman will act as the stand-in head coach for India.
India’s series opener against Zimbabwe will be hosted at the Harare Sports Club tomorrow, July 6. It will be the first time in two years India will be taking on Zimbabwe in a bilateral tour. Zimbabwe on the other hand will be led by Sikandar Raza. Just a few months ago, they lost a T20I series 1-4 to Bangladesh. They will now be looking to pull off a few upsets against a young Indian side next.
