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Notably, the BCCI also included three World Cup-winning players on the Zimbabwe tour, but they had to be withdrawn from the first and second T20Is.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.
