Having sealed the five-match T20I series on Saturday, India are set to play one final T20I game on the tour of Zimbabwe. Shubman Gill’s new India have already clinched the series by taking an unassailable lead of 3-1 in the series and will look to hand over chances to the players who have not had a lot of batting time so far.
T20I of the series, dominating the hosts with both bat and ball. Shubman’s side will try to repeat the same, albeit this is a dead rubber. One can expect the likes of Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma to bat higher up the order. It will be a wasted opportunity if Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal come out to open the innings once again.
Shubman has hit back-to-back fifties on this tour, playing the anchor’s role and Jaiswal has just hit a terrific 93*, leading India’s charge in the 4th game. The likes of Shivam Dube, Riyan Parag and Sanju Samson have not had a lot of opportunities to bat and one can ideally expect that to happen in the final T20I game.
