India's Predicted XI vs Zimbabwe, 5th T20I: Shubman Gill To Bring Multiple Changes?

With the series already in bag, Team India will take on Zimbabwe in the fifth and final T20I match of the series at Harare Sports Club on Sunday, July 14. "The job is not done," said India captain Shubman Gill after the visitors clinched the series 3-1 with a 10-wicket win in the fourth T20I. Still eager to perform and keep the noose tightened, will the team make any changes in the playing XI? When asked about the same at the end of the fourth game, Gill kept the cards close to his chest. "Haven't had the discussion with the coach. If there are any changes, we will let you know at the toss tomorrow," said the India captain for the Zimbabwe series.

Sourav Ganguly, Criticised For Making Rohit Sharma Team India Captain, Fires Back

The Indian cricket team finally witnessed a high in an ICC tournament as the Rohit Sharma-led side clinched the T20 World Cup 2024 title by defeating South Africa in the final. The accomplishment earned India its first world title since the 2013 Champions Trophy triumph under MS Dhoni. While Virat Kohli had failed to earn India an ICC title as captain, Rohit brought the much-deserved success while leading the side.

In fact, Sourav Ganguly, the then BCCI president, had received plenty of hate for the move.

Harbhajan Singh Picks 3 Top Batters In The World. No Virat Kohli Or Rohit Sharma

Former Indian cricket team spinner Harbhajan Singh did not include both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma while picking the top three batters in the world. The top pick for the cricketer, who won the 2007 T20 World Cup as well as the 2011 ODI World Cup, was the legendary Sachin Tendulkar. He also named former South Africa all-rounder Jacques Kallis and West Indies great Brian Lara as his other two options. In a video that has gone viral on social media, Harbhajan was asked to choose the top three batters in the world and he went for three legendary options rather than any player who are currently playing the game.

Ind vs Zim 4th T20I: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill Smash Zimbabwe Bowlers; India Secure Series With 3-1 Lead

Yashasvi Jaiswal's flair was complemented by skipper Shubman Gill's poise as young Indian team cantered to a 10-wicket victory over Zimbabwe in the fourth T20 International, taking an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series. This is the second time that India beat Zimbabwe by 10 wickets after a similar-margin win at the same venue in 2016. Jaiswal and Gill's approach was in complete contrast as the Mumbai southpaw went hammer and tongs during his unbeaten 93-run knock while the skipper (58 not out) was ready to play the second fiddle in a chase of 153 which was completed in 15.2 overs.

A Delhi court, which framed charges against four accused in the 2000 cricket match-fixing scandal case, said some matches of the India-South Africa test and ODI series were fixed and attempts were made to fix other fixtures. The two tests and five one-day internationals were held from February 19 to March 19, 2000. The court said, "Investigation also concluded that some of the matches were fixed and an attempt was made to fix some other matches."
