The first game will be played on Saturday at Harare Sports Club, Harare. This is not the Indian side that won the <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/india-names-3-players-for-zimbabwe-t20i/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/india-names-3-players-for-zimbabwe-t20i/">ICC T20 World Cup 2024</a>, but this side will include a number of youngsters who have a chance to showcase their talent.



For Zimbabwe, it will be Sikandar Raza who will lead the side. The veteran all-rounder will hope that his team can register a historic series win. There are some brilliant players who will be representing Zimbabwe in this series. Hence, we will talk about three Zimbabwean stars whom you should pick for your fantasy teams in the <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/3-opening-duo-india-in-zimbabwe-t20is/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/3-opening-duo-india-in-zimbabwe-t20is/">IND vs ZIM series.</a>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3 Zimbabwean Stars You Must Pick for Your Fantasy team for IND vs ZIM Series</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Luke Jongwe</h3>



An all-rounder is very important if you are making a Dream11 team on fantasy platforms. And Luke Jongwe is an in-form all-rounder. He is someone who gives you four good overs with new and old balls and creates chances to pick up wickets. Then, he comes down the order and plays some quick cameos that can give points with the bat and the ball, which is very important on fantasy platforms. So you can have him in your Dream11 team for IND vs ZIM series.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Brian Bennett</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/07/Brian-Bennett-IND-vs-ZIM-1024x532.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-142293" /></figure>



The 20-year-old all-rounder, Brian Bennett, has impressed everyone with his ability to win matches in both departments. He is a powerful opener who likes to take on the bowlers right away. Brian is more of a dasher, who makes it tough for the bowlers in the powerplay. He had good performances against Bangladesh in the last T20I series and was the top scorer for Zimbabwe with wickets. Hence, you can pick him as a vice-captain for your Dream11 team in the IND vs ZIM series.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Sikandar Raza</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/07/Sikandar-Raza-IND-vs-ZIM-1024x532.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-142294" /></figure>



<a href="https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/9354/sikandar-raza" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/9354/sikandar-raza">Sikandar Raza </a>will be the biggest threat for India in this series. He is someone, who can win the games with bat and ball. He has been part of the team for over a decade now and plays across different franchise leagues. Raza brings his experience into play and that's what can make a different. With the added captaincy responsibility, one can expect him to do well. So he is definitely a candidate for captaincy on fantasy teams during the IND vs ZIM series.

India has been crowned the World T20 Champions in 2024, and they will be defending their title in the T20 World Cup in 2026, with no team having done it successfully before. However, the Men in Blue will have to rebuild an entire squad after the exit of their senior pros and the Ind vs Zim series will be a great opportunity for the same. Not only on the batting front, India will have to fancy their chances and widen up their options in the bowling deck as well. In India?s T20 World Cup campaign in the United States and West Indies, the bowlers played a major role in the team?s initial to final success. It can undeniably be stated that it was the Indian bowlers who even led them to victory in the World Cup final.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="captivating-performances-of-indian-bowlers-in-the-t-20-world-cup">Captivating performances of Indian bowlers in the T20 World Cup </h3>



With Jasprit Bumrah still expected to spearhead India?s bowling attack for many World Cups to come, he needs support from his fellow teammates, just like the one he got from Hardik and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arshdeep_Singh_(cricketer)">Arshdeep Singh </a>in the latest edition. However, with an unsettled Siraj, India is still in the quest for a third-pace bowling option to keep aside Bumrah and Arshdeep, who might be said as the named constants for the side. Indian spinners faced a major backlash in the finals, and with Jadeja stepping down, the Men in Blue will be in the quest for a new spinning all-rounder. With the Kulcha era almost coming to an end, as Chahal was not even placed into the starting XI on a single occasion, India will have to quest for a new spin duo alongside Kuldeep Yadav. 



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="indias-bowling-choices-from-the-latest-squad-against-zimbabwe">India?s bowling choices from the latest squad against Zimbabwe </h3>



India has rested most of their squad from the T20 World Cup and has given a chance to a new set of players from this generation. Having dropped all-rounders Axar and vice captain Hardik Pandya, India have picked the likes of Riyan Parag and Abhishek Sharma, both of whom performed exceptionally in the IPL 2024. 



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/07/Riyan-Parag-and-Abhishek-Sharma-all-set-to-feature-in-India-colours-1024x683.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-142339" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">India's two new all-rounders for the Zimbabwe tour (Image: ESPNcricinfo)</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



 Even the entire bowling unit that featured in the World Cup has been replaced by a new set of players that comprise young and sporadic players like Avesh Khan, Khaleel Ahmed, Tushar Deshpande, Harshit Rana, and Ravi Bishnoi. 



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="top-3-bowlers-who-can-be-future-assets-for-india">Top 3 bowlers who can be future assets for India </h3>



Among the recently picked all-rounders, they have been stunning batters, but their bowling prowess has not been tested. With Axar and Pandya being frontline bowlers for India, it will be a tough job for players like Abhishek and especially Parag to step into their shoes on the bowling front. Avesh Khan The Rajasthan Royals pacer has been their star performer in the absence of Prasidh Krishna. He has stepped up to be an excellent bowler, especially in the death overs, though his new ball antics are also praiseworthy. Avesh has an enriched variety, from a good stock delivery to a handful of yorkers and slower balls; he is a bowler with a lot more wit than finesse. He, under some rigorous guidance from Indian greats, can evolve to fill in the void of India?s third handy pacer.

</figure>



 The Chennai Super Kings youngster has grown to be a very competent bowler in the T20s. Playing under the guidance of the maestro MS Dhoni, he has evolved to be a bowler who bowls best to his field. Known for his wide variety of slow deliveries, wide yorkers, and especially his wicket-taking ability with the new ball, this has given him this spot in the Team India squad. Playing in conditions, especially overseas, Deshpande will be effective as he will add to India?s void of a third bowler, who can bowl upfront to keep Bumrah's overs towards the end of the innings. Ravi Bishnoi Since Jadeja stepped down from T20Is and Chahal is not a major fit into the India squad, India will be in the quest for a proper wrist spinner alongside Kuldeep, and who can be a better option than <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravi_Bishnoi">Bishnoi</a>? Bishnoi has played in Indian colors previously and has been a standout performer on many occasions. The LSG spinner is one of the wittiest spinners in India currently and has abilities to spin the ball to either side. Bishnoi brings stunning fielding antics and will be an asset in the format that demands great fielders, which can?t be denied after SKY?s catch won the World Cup title for India after 13 years.

IND vs ZIM: 3 bowlers to watch out for in India's tour of Zimbabwe who can be assets in the T20 World Cup 2026

ind-vs-zim-3-bowlers-to-watch-out-for-in-indias-tour-of-zimbabwe-who-can-be-assets-in-the-t20-world-cup-2026

IND vs ZIM 1st T20I: Shubman Gill-led India have landed on the land of Zimbabwe for a five-match T20I series against the hosts Zimbabwe. With a new squad and youngster taking on the responsibilities, here we are to predict the strongest India Playing 11 for the IND vs ZIM 1st T20I of India Tour of Zimbabwe 2024.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#india-playing-11-for-the-ind-vs-zim-1st-t-20-i-prediction"> India Playing 11 for the IND vs ZIM 1st T20I Prediction</a><ul><li class=""><a href="#india-squad-vs-zimbabwe">INDIA Squad vs Zimbabwe</a></li><li class=""><a href="#indias-expected-playing-11">India's Expected Playing 11</a></li></ul></li></ul></nav></div>



The Zimbabwe tour of the team India was scheduled just after the conclusion of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. The retirement of big names including the skipper Rohit Sharma pressed the button for the reboot of the T20I regime. 



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="india-playing-11-for-the-ind-vs-zim-1st-t-20-i-prediction"> India Playing 11 for the IND vs ZIM 1st T20I Prediction</h2>



The BCCI selection committee has done wonderful work with the selection of the squad where they picked up a young and balanced squad with a little of experience too. 



<h4 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center" id="india-squad-vs-zimbabwe">INDIA Squad vs Zimbabwe</h4>



Shubman Gill (C), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Abhishek Sharma, Rinku Singh, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Riyan Parag, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Khaleel Ahmed, Mukesh Kumar, Tushar Deshpande, Sai Sudharsan, Jitesh Sharma (WK), Harshit Rana



Shubman Gill has been assigned the captaincy duties and he will have a tough call right at the top with the opening combinations. Yashasvi Jaiswal has raised his name on the international stage loudly so one end is cemented for him for the instance.



For the second end in the opening, he has four names- Ruturaj Gaikwad, Abhishek Sharma, Sai Sudharsan, and he himself. However, Gill would be the ideal one in the squad to fill in Kohli's spot as number 3 in the T20I so Ruturaj has more weight for the opening spot.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/Shubman-Gill-Yashasvi-Jaiswal-1-1024x576.jpg" alt="No Rinku Singh, Sanju Samson, Shubman Gill as Mohammad Kaif picks T20 World Cup squad for Team India" class="wp-image-132564" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: Chandan Khanna / AFP</figcaption></figure>



Riyan Parag should be the next in number four. His ability to hit the spin and slog the pace is excellent and he can finish innings with power. This lineup would be weak if Rinku Singh wasn't there. His appearance down the order makes a huge impact and can run down the morale of any opponent. He will be there at number five. 



There will be a toss-up between wicketkeeper-batters <a href="https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/dhruv-jurel-1175488">Dhruv Jurel</a> and Jitesh Sharma. They both possess a similar sort of biodata so any of them would be the perfect one to enter at number six and his six-hitting abilities down the order would be very useful for the team.



Washington Sunder and Ravi Bishnoi would be the two spinners at number seven or eight and with the batting skills of Washington Sunder, India do have a long batting up to number 7.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/12/Ravi-Bishnoi.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-123430" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Ravi Bishnoi </figcaption></figure>



Three spots for pacers and Mukesh Kumar is almost certain to be there. He will be leading the pace bowling attack and the other two might be Khaleel and Avesh Khan or Harshit Rana. 



Khaleel gives an option of a left-arm bowler with his incredible swinging abilities with the new ball and we have seen in the T20 World Cup, what a left-armer did for India. Avesh has played for India in the past and him being included in the playing 11 won't be surprising. 



Below is the India's playing 11 for IND vs ZIM 1st T20I:



<h4 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center" id="indias-expected-playing-11">India's Expected Playing 11</h4>

Shubman Gill will be captaining the team for the first time in his career, which will face Zimbabwe in the five-match T20 series. The first game of the series will start on Saturday at Harare Sports Club. There are a number of young faces in the Indian side.



That is why this series will be very important for India going forward. Zimbabwe have some big names on their side, which will pose a challenge to the Indian team. Overall, everyone is expecting a tight battle between two teams. In this article, we will talk about three key player battles during the first IND vs ZIM T20 match.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3 Key Battles to Watch Out for in IND vs ZIM 1st T20</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Shubman Gill vs Blessing Muzarabani</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/07/3-Key-Player-battles-to-watch-out-for-in-IND-vs-ZIM-1st-T20i-1024x532.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-142384" /></figure>



All eyes will be on Shubman Gill, who will be making his captaincy debut. He is a free-flowing batsman who likes to take on the bowlers from the start. Gill has been among the runs, irrespective of the format and level he is playing at. So India's chances will depend a lot on him and how he goes about the business. 



That's why it will be important to dismiss him early. That's where Blessing Muzarabani will be a challenge. Zimbabwe's pacer has been in tremendous form. He swings the ball and generates an extra bounce that can cause problems for Gill. So this battle in the IND vs ZIM first match will decide many things.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Ruturaj Gaikwad vs Richard Ngarava</h3>



Ruturaj Gaikwad is another <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ind-vs-zim-3-bowlers-to-watch-out-for-in-indias-tour-of-zimbabwe-who-can-be-assets-in-the-t20-world-cup-2026/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ind-vs-zim-3-bowlers-to-watch-out-for-in-indias-tour-of-zimbabwe-who-can-be-assets-in-the-t20-world-cup-2026/">Indian batter</a> who has been in good form and is one of the few players to have played a handful of T20Is. He had an excellent IPL 2024 with the bat and finished the tournament as the second-highest run scorer. Gaikwad was the top scorer in the last T20I series he played for India. 



But he will be up against Richard Ngarava. The left-arm pacer brings the ball in to right-handers. His record against right-handed batters is pretty impressive, and he will be a hurdle to cross in the IND vs ZIM first game.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Sikandar Raza vs Ravi Bishnoi</h3>



<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikandar_Raza" data-type="link" data-id="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikandar_Raza">Sikandar Raza</a> is the most experienced batter on either side. He is the backbone of Zimbabwe's batting unit, and his form will determine a lot whether Zimbabwe can compete in this series or not. If he gets out, there will be a lot of pressure on the other batters.



That's where India need to find someone, who can trouble him. Ravi Bishnoi can be that guy. He is a wicket-taker in the middle and will be India's biggest weapon. It won't be easy to pick him, and he can be a good bowler.

The big names of the Indian cricket team are not in the squad and Shubman Gill is the most experienced player in this Indian squad. It will be first Zimbabwe tour for many of the players in the side and many may get a chance to wear the Indian cap for the first time.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="harare-sports-club-pitch-report">Harare Sports Club Pitch Report</h2>



The wickets at Harare Sports Club offer a balanced playing field, providing opportunities for both batters and bowlers. While scoring runs may be relatively straightforward, early in the game, fast bowlers can find some assistance, with spinners becoming more effective as the match progresses. However, in T20 Internationals (T20Is), the wicket tends to remain consistent throughout the game.



The average first-innings score at this venue is 156, though, in the most recent T20I, Ireland comfortably chased down a target of 140. Historically, teams batting first have had greater success at this ground, winning 23 T20Is compared to 18 victories for teams batting second.

Shubman Gill will be playing his first game as an Indian captain, where he will lead a young lot of Indian superstars. They will face Zimbabwe in the <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/3-battles-to-in-ind-vs-zim/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/3-battles-to-in-ind-vs-zim/">first game of the five-match T20 series</a> on Saturday at Harare Sports Club. The challenge will be tough because Zimbabwe have their main players that will be playing in the series.



Hence, it will be an exciting series. But India have selected two different sides for the first two games and the next three matches, with three changes. Hence, there will be some areas where Team India need to do well in the first game. In this article, we will talk about three areas that need to be addressed by the team in the first <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/3-star-might-not-play-ind-vs-zim-series/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/3-star-might-not-play-ind-vs-zim-series/">IND vs ZIM</a> game on Saturday.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3 Areas India need to resolve in the first IND vs ZIM T20I on Saturday</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Bowling Combination</h3>



The current side doesn't have Bumrah, Kuldeep, Arshdeep, or Axar. Hence, it will be an inexperienced bowling unit. Washington Sundar is the most experienced bowler, but he hasn't played for a while now. The pace attack will have Avesh Khan and Khaleel Ahmed, who were in travel reserve. Mukesh Kumar will be the death bowler, with Ravi Bishnoi as the leg spinner. Some of them will be playing this format regularly. Hence, India need to find the right bowling combination that can do well because none of these bowlers can bat, and India will have a long tail.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. The Suitable Top Order</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/07/3-Areas-India-need-to-resolve-in-the-first-IND-vs-ZIM-T20I-on-Saturday-1024x532.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-142471" /></figure>



India have <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shubman_Gill" data-type="link" data-id="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shubman_Gill">Shubman Gill</a>, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Abhishek Sharma, and Sai Sudharsan for the opening slot. But they have to pick the right top order according to the conditions. Gill is expected to open, but who will be his partner? Sudharshan has batted in no. 3 or 4, so he can shift. Then, one of Gaikwad and Abhishek needs to come to No. 3. However, Abhishek can give an explosive option at the top, and he is also a left-hander. But it will be a tough call for the management because Yashasvi Jaiswal will join the team in the third IND vs ZIM game.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Middle Order Worries</h3>



The middle order will be very inexperienced for India. Riyan Parag, Rinku Singh, and one of Dhurv Jurel and Jitesh Sharma might bat in the middle. This will leave India with very little experience. Rinku has played some matches; he has been on the bench for a long time now, and he didn't get many games in the IPL 2024 as well. Sanju Samson will join in the third game, but until then, the pressure will be on the middle order.

3 Issues Young Team India need to Address in 1st T20I against Zimbabwe

ZIM vs IND 1st T20I Dream11 Prediction: India tour of Zimbabwe 2024 is all set to kick start today with India Taking on the hosts in the first T20I at Harare Sports Club. With a young squad on both sides, it is quite hard to pick up the best fantasy 11 but here we are with the ZIM vs IND Dream11 Prediction, Small League and Grand League, Top Fantasy Picks, and Probable Playing 11s.

This is the time when T20 world champion India are on a big change. This phase is a bridge-like instance as a couple of experienced players have announced their retirement and the remaining players will have to pass the legacy to the young ones.



The Indian squad has Shubman Gill as their most experienced player and Washington Sunder as their most experience all-rounder. The top three will be a tricky decision for Shubman as the shoes of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are too big to fill up.

Sikandar Raza has got the leadership of the Zimbabwe T20I team against the T20 World Champion nation and it is going to be a good stage for them to put up their show against a less-experienced Indian side.

IND vs ZIM: A win to remember for Zimbabwe. The hosts Zimbabwe have defeated India in the first T20I by 13 runs at the Harare Sports Club. 



Sikandar Raza and the entire Zimbabwe were absolutely ecstatic with the last wicket fall. It felt like it was India's game after the first innings but what Zimbabwe bowlers did in the second innings was simply exceptional.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IND vs ZIM Match Summary</h2>



Batting first, Zimbabwe got an early setback as Mukesh Kumar dismissed in-form Innocent Kaia in the first ball of the second over. Brian Bennett and Wessly Madhevere gave a good start to the team. 



Ravi Bishnoi then came to bowl the last over of the Powerplay and bowled out Brian and Madhevere in his second over. Wicketkeeper-batter Clive Madande played an important knockdown the order of 29 runs and his valiant efforts put Zimbabwe to 115 mark.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/07/jurel-jpg.webp" alt="Raza Stars as Zimbabwe Upset India In 1st T20I by 13 Runs | IND vs ZIM 1st T20I" class="wp-image-142603" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IND vs ZIM: Dion Myers Cuts the Length Ball (Associate Press)</figcaption></figure>



Ravi Bishnoi was brilliant with the ball and so was Washington Sunder. Bishnoi picked up 4 wickets and Sunder took 2 at an economy of 2.80. It was all now on the batting and surely their eyes would have lit up as they have just 116 to chase in 120 balls.



Abhishek Sharma received his maiden call to the playing 11 and his debut was something he won't be too happy with. He got out in the first fourth ball of the innings without scoring. 



Shubman Gill held one end and wickets kept falling from the other end. India lost four wickets within the powerplay for just 28 runs. Skipper Gill played a 31-run knock he too got out after 10 overs when India were just 47 in total. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/07/gill-bowled-jpg.webp" alt="Raza Stars as Zimbabwe Upset India In 1st T20I by 13 Runs | IND vs ZIM 1st T20I" class="wp-image-142604" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IND vs ZIM: Raza Bamboozled Gill (Associate Press)</figcaption></figure>



Avesh Khan played a cameo and pulled the lever towards India. He smoked 16 runs in 12 runs but Raza's excellence and <a href="https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/tendai-chatara-425639">Chatara</a> picked up wickets in line again and left India hung on a thin wire. Washington Sunder was the last hope standing for India and he tried hard in the end but Zimbabwe were too good in the last overs and bundled out India under 102 runs. 



This IND vs ZIM game marked some shake in the record book. Let's take a look at the records and stats:

IND vs ZIM: Raza Stars as Zimbabwe Upset India In 1st T20I by 13 Runs

IND vs ZIM 2nd T20I: India have lost the first T20I of the five-match series and Zimbabwe has pushed back the World Champions 1-down in the opening match of the series. Here are the 2 possible changes that India might make for IND vs ZIM 2nd T20I.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#2-changes-india-might-make-for-ind-vs-zim-2nd-t-20-i">2 Changes INDIA Might Make for IND vs ZIM 2nd T20I</a></li><li class=""><a href="#indi-as-likely-playing-11-for-ind-vs-zim-2nd-t-20-i">INDIA's likely Playing 11 for IND vs ZIM 2nd T20I</a></li></ul></nav></div>



India posted a mediocre batting display on 6th July at Harare Sports Club, Harare. They would have been happy to see just 116 on the board but Zimbabwe assured that it was enough for them to seal the deal.



Three players got to wear the Indian cap for the first time in the opening match of the series- IPL star Abhishek Sharma, Riyan Parag and Dhruv Jurel. All three had a debut not to remember. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/07/raza-jpg.webp" alt="Raza Stars as Zimbabwe Upset India In 1st T20I by 13 Runs | IND vs ZIM 1st T20I" class="wp-image-142605" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Raza celebrating Gill's wicket (Associate Press)</figcaption></figure>



India bowled first and apart from Khaleel Ahmed who went expensive and wicketless, all the bowlers were up to the mark. Bishnoi took 4 men down, Washington was economical and got 2 wickets and other bowlers contributed too to restrict the home team under 115. 



The chase started horribly as India lost their four wickets inside the batting powerplay with just 22 runs on the board. Shubman Gill(31), Washington Sunder (27) and Avesh Khan (16) were the only three batters to cross the 10-run mark.



Bowling was up to the mark but it was batting that let the Indian team down. There is a window for a couple of changes that can bring up the balance in the playing 11 of India.



Let's have a look at the 2 possible changes that India might make for IND vs ZIM 2nd T20I:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="2-changes-india-might-make-for-ind-vs-zim-2nd-t-20-i">2 Changes INDIA Might Make for IND vs ZIM 2nd T20I</h2>



1- Sai Sudharsan IN, Abhishek Sharma OUT



Abhishek Sharma is, no doubt, an excellent player top of the order and he is one of the best aggressive batters at the opening spot but the Indian team has an experienced option against him and that is Sai Sudharsan. 



Sai has played for India in a 50-over game and he has delivered some great performances. Abhishek Sharma is, nevertheless, more lethal than Sai but the pitches there in Harare are a bit tacky and tricky so Sai would be a better option to bat.



2- Jitesh Sharma IN, Dhruv Jurel OUT



With almost a similar sort of skill set, the two wicketkeeper-batters Jitesh Sharma and Dhruv Jurel are having a bout for the wicketkeeping spot. Dhruv Jurel is a batter with better techniques but Jitesh Sharma's game is by power. 



At the number where these players are going to get chance to bat, most of the time, you need a power hitter and in that case, <a href="https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/jitesh-sharma-721867">Jitesh</a> is a better option than Dhruv.

Prithvi Shaw did not find any takers as the Mumbai batter went unsold in the IPL 2025 auction. Prithvi, who had a base price of Rs 75 lakh in the auction, was released by Delhi Capitals but he did not attract any bids from the ten franchises.
Delhi Capitals co-owner Parth Jindal has said that Prithvi Shaw is misunderstood in many ways but needed a 'jolt' in the form of the IPL 2025 Auction snub. Shaw has been part of the Delhi franchise since returning as the U-19 World Cup winning captain in 2018 and was bought for 1.2 Crores. Ahead of the 2022 auction, the Mumbai batter was retained by DC for Rs. 7.5 Crore but the past few seasons hasn't been great for the 25-year-old.
Speaking to Sports Today, Jindal said that Shaw is a great kid but needed a jolt to get up from his slumber. The DC co-owner feels that Shaw needs to work hard, get back the love of the game and get disciplined. Jindal ended by saying he hopes the Mumbai batter can return back to his best form
Delhi has backed Prithvi Shaw a lot. DC had hoped that he is a powerplay player and would hit 6 boundaries in one over. And he did that too. He hit Shivam Mavi for 6 fours in an over. He had a lot of potential and DC backed him to the hilt. We always thought that if Shaw manages to score, we will win. And we gave him a lot of chances," Kaif told on Jio Cinema.

Prithvi got a lot of chances and teams have now finally moved on, and it is a matter of embarrassment that he did not get a bid for Rs 75 lakh. Maybe now, he finally goes back to basics. Someone like Sarfaraz Khan got into the national team by scoring lots and lots of runs," he concluded.
In the 79 matches he has played, Shaw has scored 1892 runs at an average of 23.95 and a strike-rate of 147.47. He also scored 14 fifties during this time.
<img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_870x_6790c5c9db6f5.jpg" alt="">
Prithvi shaw is just 25 and has lot of cricket left inside him ,the thing he need that to focus on his fitness and batting weakness. 
If the things goes well, not the next year but shaw will probably get chance to play in IPL this year too,if any team needs replacement for player ,he might be a good to get that place.

Prithvi Shaw Can Might Have Chance To Play IPL this Year ? | TATA IPL 2025

Prithvi Shaw After a successful start of his career getting set back and set back ,but the things is not over yet , Prithvi can be have to focus his fitness,the improved fitness can solve many things for him.

The MI Emirates produced a clinical display with the bat and the ball, handing the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders a 28-run defeat at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in the Match 14 of International League T20 (ILT20) 2025 on Tuesday, January 21.
MI Emirates got off to a strong start when they were asked to bat first, with openers Muhammad Waseem (38) and Kusal Perera making a strong stand at the top. The Sri Lankan Perera was the first to leave for 23 soon before the powerplay ended, following a 42-run partnership between the two players. Tom Banton entered, and he and Waseem made sure the MI Emirates maintained the run rate.
Banton was out for nine around the halfway point of the innings, while Waseem was out for 38 shortly after. Kieron Pollard replaced skipper Nicholas Pooran, but the seasoned right-hander struggled to get going and was eventually sent out for five by Ali Khan. With just over 6 overs remaining, the score was at 102/4.
Following Dan Mousley's dismissal for six, Romario Shepherd joined his skipper for the innings' last stretch. Jason Holder made a solid 49, but Pooran, who was hitting it cleanly, was almost at his half-century before he fell.
<img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_870x_6790c540e2f01.jpg" alt="">
Shepherd was given more attention in the last few overs as a result. In order to end with an undefeated 38 from 13 deliveries, the powerful right-hander then moved through the gears and hammered three maximums and four boundaries. After slowing down for a few overs in the middle, the MI Emirates eventually reached 186/6.

In second inning with openers Kyle Mayers and Andries Gous attacking the MI Emirates bowlers, the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders got off to a fast start. Before Dan Mousley ran him out with a brilliant bit of fielding, Mayers, who hit three sixes, scored 22 off 14 deliveries.
 
The MI Emirates seized control after that, finishing a 39-run partnership in the fourth over in second inning.
Following Joe Clarke's dismissal by Akeal Hosein for three, Romario Shepherd took out Michael-Kyle Pepper for five and Alishan Sharafu for four. The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders were 56/4 at the conclusion of a thrilling Powerplay.
The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders were further put under pressure after Waqar Salamkheil dismissed Laurie Evans for seven and Zahoor Khan caught Gous in the deep for thirty-four. Hopes of a recovery were raised when Sunil Narine and Andre Russell were called to the middle and embarked on a half-century stand.
But Narine was caught at cover for 13 in the 18th over, and David Willey was dismissed by Fazalhaq Farooqi in the 19th. The MI Emirates won easily, and Russell, who was still undefeated at 37 from 23 deliveries, was unable to lead his team across the finish line.

players like Romario Shepherd and Nicholas Pooran, the MI Emirates were able to close the gap on the top team to just two points.
Alzarri Joseph and Shepherd each took two wickets to thwart the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders' chase, while four of the MI Emirates' bowlers were in excellent form that evening.
In the whole match Romario Shepherd was the centre of attraction for the crowd with his bowling and batting, although the show was lasser but effective for MI Emirates to build pressure on the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders.
MI Emirates beat Abu Dhabi Knight Riders by 28 runs

IND vs ENG: Former Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has announced his playing XI for the first T20I against England. The match between the two teams is all set to take place on Wednesday (22nd January) at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
India and England will be locking horns with each other in the five-match T20I series. Both teams have a mixed combination of seniors and youngsters in the team, and with the way they have played of late, it's fair to say that it will be an exciting series to watch. 
Coming to the first T20I, Ravichandran Ashwin backed Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma to open the innings for the team. The duo has been doing a decent job together as an opener and would be hoping to carry on the same form in the upcoming first match. 
Sanju Samson was at his exceptional best in the T20Is last year as he slammed three tons. While on the other hand, Abhishek Sharma hasn't been able to maintain consistency. Hence the series will be extremely important for him with the bat. 
At No.3, Ravichandran Ashwin picked Tilak Varma. The left-hander oozed his class with the bat in the last series against South Africa. He batted at No.3 and slammed two back-to-back centuries. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav, as per Ashwin, will bat at No.4.
Hardik Pandya, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Axar Patel are the three all-rounders picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG T20I. They are expected to play a major role with the bat and ball. 
Rinku Singh also has been picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG team. He will be taking the role of finisher while there was no place for Ravi Bishnoi, who hard has put a foot wrong in his T20I career. Varun Chakravarthy will be there as per Ashwin. 
Mohammed Shami and Arshdeep Singh are the two fast bowlers picked by Ravichandran Ashwin for the first IND vs ENG XI. Shami will be making his comeback to the team after a year, while Arshdeep will be keen to make an impact.

Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali talked about the delay in the squad of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 for the Pakistan team. He said that it might look like they are scared of announcing the team, but it seems that they don't know what to do. 
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is around the corner and all the teams have named their squad for the tournament except the hosts Pakistan. The Men in Green are yet to announce the team even though the deadline of 12th January has already been surpassed by a long margin. 
India, Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan have all revealed their squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This has made many speculate about why Pakistan isn't announcing their squad for the tournament, which is less than one month away. 
There have been several reports that Pakistan will be announcing their squad for the tournament soon. They are awaiting the fitness of a few players, and hence, they will soon be naming the team. Some reports also have revealed the players who will be playing, but an official announcement is yet to come. 
<h2>Pakistan kya darr gaya jo abhi tak team announce nahi ki? Nahi dara nahi hai. Samajh nahi aa rahi hai - Basit Ali </h2>
Amid all this, former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali commented on the same, saying that no one knows what is happening. He speculated that they might be waiting for the fitness report on Saim Ayub. Speaking in a video posted on his YouTube channel, he explained: 
"Pakistan kya darr gaya jo abhi tak team announce nahi ki? Nahi dara nahi hai. Samajh nahi aa rahi hai -- karein to kya karein? (Is Pakistan scared to announce their squad? No, it isn't, just unsure what to do and what not). The biggest issue is whether Saim Ayub can return fit or not. It's still not clear." 
It remains to be seen when will Pakistan announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The tournament is all set to take place from 19th February, with the final all set to be played on 9th March.
