After losing two consecutive T20 series against England and Ireland, the Indian team would now like to make a fresh start with a win on the Zimbabwe tour. A three-match T20 series is to be played between India and Zimbabwe. The first match of this series will be played on 23 July at Harare Sports Club. This series will not only be an opportunity to win for Team India but will also be an important opportunity to test new players and gain confidence.
Everyone’s eyes will be on Captain Shreyas Iyer in this series. On the England tour, he scored 218 runs with the bat, but his recent record in terms of captaincy was nothing special. In such a situation, he would like to bring Team India back into the winning streak by winning this series.

Vaibhav has a chance to prove himself
At the same time, this series is no less than a big opportunity for young opener Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Due to the absence of Sanju Samson, he may get a chance to start the innings. The special thing is that Vaibhav came into limelight by playing a brilliant innings in the Under-19 World Cup final on this Harare ground. However, his bat did not perform as expected on the England tour. In such a situation, a strong start will be expected from him on this tour. The team management also wants the young players to take full advantage of this opportunity and strengthen their place.
