IND vs ZIM: Team India have two consecutive games in the ongoing five-match T20 series against Zimbabwe. They have a 2-1 lead, and one more win will bag yet another T20 series for them. The next game will be played on Saturday at Harare Sports Club, and the way India have won the last two matches, it looks like they will win the fourth one as well.
Zimbabwe need something special to turn the table, which looks difficult. Hence, India will start the game as favorites. That’s where India should use this opportunity to increase the player’s pool. India have some players sitting on the bench so far. So if India can make some changes to their playing XI for the IND vs ZIM clash, then they have a chance to increase the pool.
IND vs ZIM: Three Players who deserve a chance in the Playing XI for the fourth T20
3. Tushar Deshpande
The Mumbai pacer Tushar Deshpande was picked for the series, but he hasn’t gotten a chance to make his debut so far in the series. India are already in a dominant position and have rotated the bowlers except Deshpande. So the management can give him a chance to make his debut in place of one pacer. It can help him gain confidence, and if he bowls well, it might help India in the future.
2. Dhurv Jurel
India are currently playing with four openers, and everyone has done a decent job. But India need someone in the middle order or as a finisher. It is very important to increase the pool. Hence, Dhurv Jurel can be given a chance in the playing XI. This can help India have a backup for wicketkeeping. Jurel is a pretty handy player and can grow into a good batter in the middle order.
1. Riyan Parag
There is no doubt that with Virat Koli and Rohit Sharma retiring from T20Is, India will need a solid middle order. India have a number of options to choose from for the opening slot, but not many for middle orders. That’s where you need to give the game to players like Riyan Parag. He played the first two games but didn’t get many opportunities. Hence, India should pick him in the playing XI for the fourth IND vs ZIM clash. Sanju Samson or Shivam Dube can rest to give Parag a chance.
