Shubman Gill and VVS Laxman will lead the Indian team to the tour of Zimbabwe for a five-match series. This is the first time that the men in blue will start their T20I sojourn without the likes of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja, who have retired from the game's shortest format after the T20 World Cup campaign.
Zimbabwe, on the other hand, will start their new T20I journey under the leadership of Sikander Raza. The veteran Zimbabwean star will get a chance to prove his mettle against the newly crowned T20 Champions. One of the biggest talking points is the inclusion of Antum Naqvi, who has been turning heads with his performances.
Meanwhile, India will have some of their top IPL stars try to prove their worth. The likes of Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, and Tushar Deshpande will look to do well while seasoned stars like Avesh Khan and Mukesh Kumar will hold the key with the ball. Shubman Gill has been given the job of leading the side after he showed some promise while leading the Gujarat Titans during the IPL 2024 season.
