India team for Zimbabwe tour: The Indian team has been announced for all three ODI series to be held on the Zimbabwe tour. For this series, 15 members have been given a place in the Indian team. The regular captain of the India team, Rohit Sharma, has rested on this tour. Shikhar Dhawan will lead the team in his absence. Previously, in the three ODI series in the West Indies tour, the Indian team also played under the captaincy of Dhawan, which the team won 3-0 and swept the hosts.
Virat Kohli is not part of the Zimbabwe tour
The most special thing about the team touring Zimbabwe is that Virat Kohli’s name is not included. Speculation was made about Kohli, who has been struggling with poor form for a long time, to tour Zimbabwe, but he did not return in this series either. Previously, he is not part of the ODI series team in the West Indies tour and the ongoing T20 series.
Jasprit Bumrah returns to rest
India’s star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has also been rested for the Zimbabwe tour. He was also not part of the team that went to the West Indies after the tour of England. That is, the selectors decided to rest Bumrah in two consecutive rounds. Like Bumrah, Mohammed Shami has also rested on this tour.
Deepak Chahar and Washington Sundar are back
Fast pitcher Deepak Chahar has returned for this series. He was fighting an injury for a long time. Taking into account the T20 World Cup that will take place later this year, the selectors decided to include him in the squad as soon as he was fit. Aside from Chahar, Washington Sundar, who is out due to injury, has also returned to the team.
The team for the Zimbabwe tour is as follows:
Shikhar Dhawan (captain), Rituraj Gaikwad, Shubman Gill, Deepak Hooda, Rahul Tripathi, Ishan Kishan (goalkeeper), Sanju Samson (goalkeeper), Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Avesh Khan, the famous Krishna, Mohd Siraj, Deepak Chahar
