India Vs Zimbabwe LIVE Match Today | India Vs Zimbabwe LIVE Scoreboard | Shubman Gill | N18L
After suffering a shocking defeat at the hands of hosts Zimbabwe in the 1st T20 clash in Harare, Shubman Gill and Co. would be looking to stage a comeback in the 5-match series by winning the match today.
During the first T20I match, Zimbabwe posted a meagre total of 115/9 in their quota of 20 overs. However, the inexperienced Indian team found it extremely hard to chase down the total with only three batsmen, Shubman Gill, Avesh Khan and Washington Sundar, going into the double digits.
Live Score India vs Zimbabwe 1st T20I updates: India captain Shubman Gill won the toss and elected to bowl against Zimbabwe at Harare. Abhishek Sharma and Riyan Parag make their international debut, while Dhruv Jurel plays his first T20I. The young brigade, led by Gill, is set to kickstart a new phase in T20 cricket after senior stars like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravindra Jadeja retired from the format following their T20 World Cup triumph.
In this series, India fields a youthful squad with IPL stars like Abhishek Sharma, Harshit Rana, Riyan Parag, and Tushar Deshpande eager to make their mark. Senior squad members Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shivam Dube, and Sanju Samson will join for the last three games. Interim coach VVS Laxman will guide the team in Harare, as the search for a long-term successor to Dravid continues.
Gill, who has learned valuable leadership lessons from his IPL captaincy stint, is determined to prove himself. He acknowledges that the challenges of captaincy are more mental and believes his experience in the IPL has prepared him well for this role. India has a strong record against Zimbabwe in T20 internationals, winning six of the eight encounters.
Zimbabwe, on the other hand, faces pressure after a series loss to Bangladesh and failing to qualify for the T20 World Cup. With new coach Justin Sammons, they aim for a fresh start. The squad is predominantly young, led by experienced captain Sikander Raza. The series promises exciting cricket as both teams strive to make their mark.
