While BCCI announced that Shikhar Dhawan will be the captain for this, BCCI has announced Rahul as the captain saying that KL Rahul has passed the fitness test. Dhawan will act as the vice-captain.
Indian Team: KL Rahul (captain), Shikhar Dhawan (vice-captain), Rudraj Gaekwad, Shubman Gill, Deepak Hooda, Rahul Tripathi, Ishan Kishan, Sanju Samson, Washington Sundar, Shardul Tagore, Kuldeep Yadav, Akshar Patel, Prasith Krishna, Mohd. Siraj, Deepak Sahar.
2 Baer Comeback:
Washington Sundar and Deepak Sahar, who have been suffering from injuries for a long time, are going to make a comeback through this series. Due to this, there is a lot of expectation on him. It was Washington Sundar who got the most attention.
In the county team:
Sundar recently played in the England County Test series. In that series, Sundar bowled tremendously and collected wickets and scored some big scores while batting as well. This is why he got a place in the Indian team again.
Great Opportunity:
As Sundar has been plagued by frequent injuries, it was thought that he would not get a place in the Indian team again. In this case, he has been given a chance in the Indian team again based on his good performance in county cricket. If he performs well in this, it was considered that Sundar is more likely to take the place of Axar Patel again.
Re-injury:
In this case, Washington Sundar, who was playing for the Lancashire team in county cricket recently, has been hit on his left hand, the team management has announced. Sundar has been ruled out of the Zimbabwe series as it has been reported that the injury will take up to two weeks.
In this case, 27-year-old Shahbaz Ahmed has been included as a substitute player. This is his debut series. He played 29 matches in IPL and scored 279 runs and took 13 wickets. It is noteworthy that he played for the RCB team in the IPL.
