Rituraj Gaikwad at number 3, Riyan Parag at number 4, Dhruv Jurel at number 5 and Rinku Singh at number 6 have got a chance. Ravi Bishnoi can be included in the spin department in India’s playing XI in the first T20 match. Apart from this, there can be 3 fast bowlers Khalil Ahmed, Avesh Khan and Tushar Deshpande.
How will the pitch of Harare?
The first match of the T20 series between India and Zimbabwe will be played at Harare Sports Club. Talking about the pitch of this venue, it is an excellent surface to play cricket, as it provides equal assistance to both bowlers and batters. The surface here is hard and the wicket has more bounce, which helps the batter because the ball comes on the bat easily due to the solid surface. In such a situation, a high-scoring match can be seen on July 6.
