The Indian cricket team is once again preparing to enter the cricket field. However, this time there will be a young team, along with that the players will also be seen playing, who have performed very well for their team in the IPL. Yes, it is another thing that this time players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, Hardik Pandya and Jaspreet Bumrah will not be seen. Meanwhile, there is an opportunity for young players to perform well against Zimbabwe and secure their place in Team India.
Shubman Gill has been given the responsibility of captaincy for the 5-match T20 International series against Zimbabwe. Which is going to start from July 6. Shubman Gill has got the opportunity to captain Team India for the first time. Along with this, he himself will also play an international match after a long time. Shubman Gill is also being seen as the next captain of Team India, although there are many other contenders for this. This time, the players who have been included in Team India for the first time will definitely be excited at this time, if they get a chance to debut for India, then this excitement will be at its peak.
Shubhman Gill is the captain of the team, so it is almost certain that he will come to the field as an opening batsman. But who will be his partner. Although Ruturaj Gaikwad is also a part of the team, Abhishek Sharma has also been kept in the team. Abhishek Sharma bats left-handed, so there is a possibility that he can start the innings with Shubhman Gill, after this there is a possibility of Ruturaj Gaikwad coming at number three. That is, if this happens, Abhishek Sharma will get a chance to debut for Team India. Riyan Parag’s coming at number four is almost certain, he also played at this number in IPL this time for Rajasthan Royals and he scored runs by batting brilliantly. In this way, Team India will have four debuts in the top 4 itself.
Apart from Dhruv Jurel, Sanju Samson was earlier given a chance in this team, but later BCCI changed the squad and decided to send Jitesh Sharma for the first two matches. But since Dhruv is already with the team, there is every possibility that he will be seen playing. Dhruv has already made his Test debut, but he will be seen in Team India’s jersey for the first time in T20 International. That is, if seen in this way, there will be three debuts.

This time KKR’s deadly bowler Harshit Rana has also been included in the team, but he has come into the team after the change. Therefore, it is possible that he may have to wait for the second or third match for his debut, but if he gets a chance, he can also make his international debut for India. Anyway, India has three strong fast bowlers in the team in the form of Avesh Khan, Khalil Ahmed and Mukesh Kumar, but the question is that you cannot expect batting from all three. But if Harshit comes, he can also bat a bit if needed, in such a situation Rana gets the upper hand. In this way, three to four debuts seem almost certain, but it remains to be seen what Shubman Gill decides.
