Just a week after winning the 2024 T20 World Cup in Barbados, the Men in Blue are all set to hit the field yet again as the side is slated to lock horns against Zimbabwe for the first match of the T20I series on July 6 at Harare Sports Club. A second-string India has landed in Zimbabwe for the series, and young batter Shubman Gill will lead the side this time.

Notably, the BCCI also included three World Cup-winning players on the Zimbabwe tour, but they had to be withdrawn from the first and second T20Is. The star cricketers Shivam Dube, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Sanju Samson will join the side ahead of the third T20I.

Meanwhile, the upcoming T20I series seems to be a golden opportunity for the youngsters to do well and retain their spot in the national squad. Now it seems that after the retirement of three legendary cricketers, the likes of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja, there are three vacant spots in the T20I team, and the youngster has a great chance to get a place in the 2026 T20 World Cup, where the side will be looking to defend their title.

The upcoming T20I series against Zimbabwe is set to commence in the new era of T20I cricket and on the road to the 2026 T20 World Cup, which will start in Zimbabwe. Meanwhile, Hardik Pandya is expected to take over India's full-time role, starting the series against Sri Lanka.

Pitch Report

One can expect a flat pitch offering excellent batting conditions at Harare Sports Club. The batters will exploit the track's even pace and bounce to score runs, while the seamers will likely rely on cutters and variations to succeed at this venue. The spinners might get a hint of turn, particularly in the latter half. However, as it's the first game of the series, don't expect the track to deteriorate. So, the toss-winner might opt to bowl.

Must Pick for Fantasy

1. Rinku Singh

Rinku Singh, renowned for his outstanding hitting skills, is an important member of the team as he offers strength and stability. The KKR batter's crucial contribution can be seen in his impactful performances that continually boost the team's performance. The 25-year-old cricketer amassed an unbeaten 69 runs off 39 balls with a strike rate of 176.92 in the last game against Afghanistan. The squad depends on Singh's consistent presence in the batting order to lead their team to wins, and his efforts are key to their ongoing wins.

2. Ravi Bishnoi

Ravi Bishnoi is best known for his accurate and quick bowling, which constantly poses a challenge to batters. The LSG bowlers capacity for pressure handling is essential to the team's bowling strategy. Even though Bishnoi gave up 38 runs in his most recent game without getting any wickets, his ability to perform in key instances highlights his importance as a crucial asset and greatly boosts the team's chances of winning.
