India vs Zimbabwe Live Score, IND vs ZIM 1st T20I Match Today: Indian skipper Shubman Gill won the toss and opted to bowl first against Sikandar Raza’s Zimbabwe in the first of five match T20I series at Harare Sports Club in Harare on Saturday
Amid retirements and rested senior players, it is a huge opportunity for youngsters who will be eager to make the step-up to international cricket. India’s young squad consists of many budding superstars who have had an enriching experience in the IPL, including Abhishek Sharma, Riyan Parag and Tushar Deshpande.
Among others expected to gain valuable T20 opportunities are prolific batter Ruturaj Gaikwad (skipper of Chennai Super Kings) as also spin all-rounder Washington Sundar and medium pacer Tushar Deshpande, who picked up 38 IPL wickets for Chennai in the past two seasons. Abhishek Sharma is set to open the innings with Gill in the first T20, with Gaikwad slotting in at number three.
Teams:
India (Playing XI): Shubman Gill(c), Abhishek Sharma, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Riyan Parag, Rinku Singh, Dhruv Jurel(w), Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Mukesh Kumar, Khaleel Ahmed
