Shubman Gill changed India’s playing XI with the return of Yasaswi-Sanju-Shivamar

The change in the Indian XI in the third T20 match against Zimbabwe was desirable. It is so. Three World Cup-winning cricketers return to the team. As a result, India’s XI has impressed. India lost the first match of the series, chasing runs. Then Shubman Gill won the toss and batted in the second T20 match. Gill won the toss in the third T20 match as well. Chose batting. And we also changed the XI.

Four cricketers made their debut in the India jersey in two consecutive matches against Sikandar Raja’s team. It did not happen in the third match. Rian Parag, Dhruv Jurel, and Sai Sudarshan have been dropped due to the return of Yasaswi, Sanju, and Shivamra. Besides, Gill said after the toss, Mukesh Kumar is being rested in this match. After winning the toss, Shubman Gill said, ‘We will bat first. The World Cup winners are back on the team. We have batting depth. Our balanced team. It’s good that the power hitters are back on the team. Mukesh Kumar took a total of 3 wickets in the last 2 matches in the power play.

Abesh Khan and Shivam Dubey are in the XI, so Khalil Ahmed could be the reason behind resting Mukesh. Khalil may have been added to the XI to diversify the combination. Shubman’s opening partner changed as Yasswi returned to the team. Abhishek Sharma will land at number three, Ritu at number four, Sanju at number five, Shivam at number six, and Sate Rinku. This time, India’s opening pair freezes. In that case, Rinku may be promoted in the batting order for his destructive batting. Let’s see who wins the third match in Harare and advances the series to the end.
