” India Vs Zimbabwe” A squad of 15 from Team India has already arrived in Zimbabwe, and today they are playing their first T20 match under the captaincy of Shubman Gill-

On June 29, Team India won the World Cup, and until the team returned to India, the entire country was caught up in World Cup fever. Even now, many people have strong beliefs about it, seeing the World Cup victory as a matter of national pride and honour. People are still celebrating Team India’s victory, and the World Cup fever remains very strong among Indians.

The grand welcome for Team- Indian captain Rohit Sharma announced, “So let’s celebrate this win with a victory parade at Marine Drive & Wankhede on July 4th from 5:00 pm onwards.” “It’s coming home ❤️🏆,”  People were so excited that Mumbai was flooded with people. Almost 3 to 4 lakh people lined the streets from Girgaon Chowpatty to Nariman Point, and around 35 to 40 thousand people were waiting at Wankhede Stadium since 3 pm to welcome Team India. It’s truly exciting to see Team India gearing up for the T20 World Cup.

Team India has already arrived in Zimbabwe with coach VVS Laxman for a series of 5 T20 international matches against Zimbabwe.

Abhishek Sharma and Riyan Parag D Jurel are hoping to earn their international caps for Team India. It is expected that either Abhishek Sharma or Ruturaj Gaikwad will open with Shubman Gill, but the final decision will be made at the time of the match.

As far as Team India is concerned, the Indian dressing room is packed with experienced players, thanks to their T20 experience in the IPL.

Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Shivam Dube will join the squad after two matches, as they were scheduled for the World Cup.

Regarding the Zimbabwe team, Bennet and T. Marumani are the openers. Marumani is primarily a batter, while Bennet may play an all-round role, including off-break bowling. I. Kaia is a recognized batsman, having scored a century against India. Additionally, S. Raza, the captain of Zimbabwe, has the ability to bat well and is also a recognized all-rounder.

Zimbabwe doesn’t have star players but they have the ability to beat any team in the world. In the 2022 T20 World Cup, they defeated Pakistan as well. Luke Jongwe is a recognized right-arm fast-medium bowler, having taken 55 wickets in 65 matches with an average of 21.4. He may take a couple of breakthroughs for Zimbabwe.

Richard Ngarava is also a left-arm fast-medium bowler, having taken 51 wickets in 51 matches with an average of 21.09, which is quite impressive. In T20 matches, he is also expected to take wickets, especially on Zimbabwe’s home ground.

Abhishek Sharma has been in good form recently and performed well in the IPL. He has a good chance to open with Shubman Gill. Ruturaj Gaikwad, with his experience batting at number three, is likely to follow in the lineup.

Riyan Parag is finally expecting to earn the blue cap of India. He has shown good form in the IPL, scoring 384 runs in 14 innings with an average of 52.09 and a strike rate of 149.

As a wicketkeeper, Dhruv Jurel is a good option to accompany Shubman Gill. He possesses good skills both behind the stumps and with the bat. He is getting a chance to prove himself among other options available for India in the upcoming T20 matches and Champions Trophy as well.

India has good bowling options like Mukesh Kumar, Avesh Khan, Tushar Deshpande, Ravi Bishnoi, and Washington Sundar, along with capable all-rounders.
