India vs Zimbabwe T20 Series: The Indian cricket team is currently playing a five-match T20 series on the Zimbabwe tour. The first two matches of the series have been played. In the first match, the Indian team had to face defeat by 13 runs. Then in the second T20 match, Team India made a strong comeback and won by 100 runs. Shubhman Gill will captain Team India for the Zimbabwe tour. Many young players who performed brilliantly in IPL and domestic cricket have got a chance in the team.
3 players returned after winning the T20 World Cup
The selectors announced the Indian team for the Zimbabwe tour in the middle of the T20 World Cup. Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson and Shivam Dubey, who were part of Team India in the T20 World Cup 2024, have also been selected for the Zimbabwe tour. But after winning the T20 World Cup, the Indian team got stuck in Barbados, West Indies. Due to this the BCCI had to make changes in the team. After this, the BCCI included Sai Sudarshan, Harshit Rana and Jitesh Sharma in the team for the first two T20 matches against Zimbabwe.
Sitting position of these players
Now the first two matches of the series have been played. Out of these, only Sai Sudarshan got a chance to play. While Harshit Rana and Jitesh Sharma were sitting on the bench. Now the biggest problem is that Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson and Shivam Dubey have already joined the Indian team on the Zimbabwe tour. In such a situation, Sai Sudarshan, Harshit and Jitesh are far from making it to the playing eleven, but the threat of being dropped from the team is also looming. However, the BCCI has not yet taken any decision on this. If these three players remain in the team, then the BCCI will have to announce a new team. At the same time, the BCCI can order these 3 players to remain with the team by removing them from the team. Now what will be the decision, only time will tell.
