KL Rahul-led Team India will square off against Zimbabwe in the three-match ODI series, beginning August 18 in Harare. The senior pros like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant and Yuzvendra Chahal have all been rested for the series against Zimbabwe. Deepak Chahar, who missed most of the cricket action this year due to injury, has been named in the squad and it would be interesting to see how he performs in the upcoming series.
A 3-0 whitewash of the hosts is of course very much on the cards, but Zimbabwe all-rounder Ryan Burl is confident that the World No. 10 ranked ODI team can upset India.

In his absence, Regis Chakabva, who captained Zimbabwe to a 2-1 ODI series triumph recently against Bangladesh, will lead the side again. With the Zimbabwe vs India series set to kick off on Thursday (August 18), TimesofIndia.com caught up with 28 year old Zimbabwe all-rounder Ryan Burl, who is part of the current squad that will take on the Men in Blue, to talk about the series and more.

Sharath recently spoke to TimesofIndia.com about this and more.
