Zimbabwe vs India ODI and T20I Series is just about to begin in some days. In this series, many young players from India are making their debut in International Cricket. India will play 3 ODIs and 3 T20Is in this series. CricBol.com brings you the 5 most exciting Indian players to watch out for from this series :-
YUZVENDRA CHAHAL
One of the leading wicket takers from Royal Challengers Bangalore in this season of IPL has been finally selected for Indian Cricket Team for an international assignment and deservedly so. After the successful IPL season and domestic tournament, Chahal is all set to make his debut in Zimbabwe. Hopefully he will carry his form in International Cricket too. We will have to wait and watch. We wish him well for the upcoming series.
Manish Pandey
Manish Pandey, one of the most trusted batsman of Kolkata Knight Riders has been selected for India’s Tour of Zimbabwe. Although, Manish Pandey’s performance was not so impressive in VIVO IPL 2016 but Manish Pandey will feel lucky for himself as he got an opportunity to bring back his form and show some outstanding batting which could help India to win the series against Zimbabwe. Before this series, Manish Pandey has played 4 ODIs for India in which he scored 181 runs with one fifty and a hundred. Manish Pandey has played 3 T20Is for India in which he scored 19 runs. Hopefully this will be a better series for him.
Rishi Dhawan
Rishi Dhawan was the most surprise selection from the selectors for Team India for this series. Rishi Dhawan last time played for India against Australia earlier this year and in that series he showed some promise with his all-round ability. Although, his IPL performance this year was not up to the mark but you can say that selectors have gambled on Rishi Dhawan. Let’s see what does Rishi Dhawan has in store for us.
Axar Patel
Axar Patel who was one of the best bowler for Kings XI Punjab in VIVO IPL 2016 was the deserving candidate for selection in the Indian Team. Axar has played 22 ODIs and 4 T20Is for India in which he has scored 807 and 102 runs and took 28 and 5 wickets respectively. Due to some fitness issues, Axar was rested after ICC cricket World Cup 2015. Now he is back and ready to showcase his talent in the upcoming series against India.
Dhawal Kulkarni
Dhawal Kulkarni has been one of the most consistent bowler for his teams either in IPL matches or Domestic tournament but his performance were ignored most of the time. Now, this time selectors have given Dhawal Kulkarni an opportunity to showcase his talent in India’s tour against Zimbabwe. Hope he does live up to expectations of selectors and make a permanent place for himself in the team.
