Team India is all set to face Zimbabwe in the first ODI of the three-match series on Thursday, at the Harare Sports Club. The KL Rahul-led side, which was earlier supposed to be captained by Shikhar Dhawan, will be looking forward to take a 1-0 lead in the ODI series, in order to prepare for the upcoming Asia Cup.
The Zimbabwe series will be seeing the return of KL Rahul in the squad, who was earlier excluded due to injury and later tested positive for COVID-19.
It will be interesting to see whether Team India will include wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson in the playing XI or not. KL Rahul: The star batter of Team India has waited for a long time for his return on the field.
Rahul will be definitely having a place in the Playing XI, as he can provide a strong opening partnership and smash big hits in the initial overs. Shikhar Dhawan: Apart from Rahul, Dhawan will be another face for Team India's opening pair in the first ODI.
