The 23-year-old right-handed bowler Ravi Bishnoi picked a four-wicket haul during the match against Zimbabwe crumbling the batting lineup on July 06 at Harare.
After the T20 World Cup triumph, a young team led by Shubman Gill is set to play in a five-match T20I series on India’s tour of Zimbabwe. While speaking in the toss, Gill said, “We will field first. I think it looks like a good surface. It won’t change much later. It has been a long coming. We won an ICC event after 11 years. You always have some expectations from yourself. We have three debutants. Sharma, Jurel, and Parag make their debuts.”
Amid Retirement and the rest of Senior players, youngsters got huge opportunities to step up in international cricket. The young team consists of IPL stars Abhishek Sharma, Riyan Parag, and Tushar Deshpande.
Prolific batter Ruturaj Gaikwad and all-rounder Washington Sundar have gained expectations with perfect T20 opportunities in the Zimbabwe tour.
