The T20I World Cup-winning team players Shivam Dube, Sanju Samson, and Yashasvi Jaiswal are replaced by another proven young batch, Sai Sudharsan, Jitesh Sharma, and Harshit Rana.
A well-deserve chance given to Harshit Rana for the Zimbabwe tour as he took 19 wickets in 13 matches he played for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL 2024 season.
Why are The World Cup-winning India Trio Dube, Jaiswal, and Samson being replaced?
The trio Dube, Jaiswal, and Samson were replaced because Hurricane Beryl hit the Barbados area, which shut down the city airport, which is why the trio could not join the squad before the 3rd T20I.
The other new player who might debut in the series is Abhishek Sharma, who told the reports that he received the call from his long-time friend and the captain of India, who is touring for the Zimbabwe side.
“I received a call from Gill after the selection, I felt very good. Before my interview, when I reached home, my parents were giving interviews. I felt proud. Ever since I started from day one, I had the dream of playing for India. I knew if I kept working hard I would get an opportunity, but did not know I would go outside India, to Zimbabwe. This feels like a reunion,” Abhishek said in the video.
Abhishek Sharma Said
India’s squad for 1st & 2nd T20I against Zimbabwe:
Shubman Gill (Captain), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Abhishek Sharma, Rinku Singh, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Riyan Parag, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Khaleel Ahmed, Mukesh Kumar, Tushar Deshpande, Sai Sudharsan, Jitesh Sharma (WK), Harshit Rana
It was surprising to see why BCCI did not give Varun Chakravarthy, who played a huge role in the Kolkata Knight Riders side, a chance to win the title. However, after not being selected for the Indian squad, he left disappointed and said, ” I Wish I had A Paid PR Agency.”
