The first T20I match between Zimbabwe and India at Harare on July 6, 2024 turned out to be an exciting one with the teams tied at 61 runs each after 12.4 overs. Ravi Bishnoi and Washington Sundar put on a strong partnership to help India recover from a shaky start. Unfortunately, the match was abandoned due to a technical glitch, resulting in a tie breaker, which Zimbabwe won ultimately.
Ahead of their five-match T20I series against Zimbabwe, Team India has announced a young squad led by Shubman Gill. The team also includes three uncapped players - Abhishek Sharma, Riyan Parag, and Tushar Deshpande. Zimbabwe, on the other hand, has named experienced batter Sikandar Raza as their captain. This series will be a test for the young Indian players as they look to make their mark on the international stage.
