Shubman Gill will be leading the Indian team for the first time, marking a significant milestone in his career. The Indian batting lineup is considered one of the strongest, featuring emerging stars who have shown remarkable performances in the IPL. Players like Riyan Parag and Abhishek Sharma, who are making their debut in the Indian team, along with the promising Sai Sudharsan, are expected to provide a solid foundation. In the middle and lower order, India has explosive hitters like Riyan Parag, Rinku Singh, and Washington Sundar, who are capable of accelerating the score in the final overs. On the bowling front, the Indian team boasts a formidable lineup with bowlers such as Avesh Khan, Khaleel Ahmed, Harshit Rana, and Ravi Bishnoi, who are expected to play crucial roles in restricting the Zimbabwean batsmen.
