IND Vs ZIM predicted playing XI: Who can be out from Abhishek Sharma to Tilak? See here the possible playing-11

IND Vs ZIM predicted playing XI : ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 matches are going on. On Thursday, Team India will play a decisive match against rival Zimbabwe at the MA Chidambaram Cricket Stadium in Chennai. In this match, Team India will have to defeat Zimbabwe by a big margin otherwise the journey will end before the semi-finals. Captain Suryakumar Yadav and coach Gautam Gambhir will have to work hard regarding the playing-11 for this important match, because the top order of the Indian cricket team is continuously flopping. With Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Verma leaving the first match, T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav is also proving unsuccessful in playing long and lasting innings. In such a situation, speculations are also being made on social media regarding India’s possible playing-11 for the T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8s match against Zimbabwe.

Why will the playing-11 change?

In the very first match of Super-8, India had to face defeat from South Africa by more than 70 runs. After this, Team India has also been criticized. In such a situation, Team India will make changes in the playing-11 for the T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 match against Zimbabwe. Vice-captain Akshar Patel was out in the first match of Super-8 against South Africa. In his place, Washington Sundar was included in the playing XI for the Super 8 match against South Africa at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Now in the Zimbabwe match, Axar Patel will be played in place of Washington Sundar under any circumstances. Actually, Washington Sundar bowled only two overs against the South African team but could not take a single wicket. Failed in batting also. Washington Sundar, who entered the field as number 5 batsman, scored only 11 runs in 11 balls.

Kuldeep Yadav may get a chance

Along with Washington Sundar, questions are also being raised on the batting of Tilak Verma, Abhishek Sharma and Rinku Singh. Tilak has scored 25, 25, 25, 31 and 1 run. Rinku Singh has also scored 6, 1, 11, 6 and 0 runs in the last five matches. In such a situation, Sanju Samson or any other batsman can be fielded in his place. Kuldeep Yadav may also get a place in the playing-11.

Complete squads of both teams

Team India: Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Verma, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dubey, Rinku Singh, Washington Sundar, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakraborty, Jasprit Bumrah, Sanju Samson, Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel.
