1st T20I: Abhishek, Jurel, Parag Handed Debuts As India Elect To Field First Against Zimbabwe
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Abhishek Sharma, Dhruv Jurel and Riyan Parag have been handed India T20I debuts as captain Shubman Gill won the toss and elected to field first against Zimbabwe in the series opener at the Harare Sports Club on Saturday.
The series holds huge importance from an Indian perspective, as it kickstarts their road to building a team for the 2026 T20 World Cup to be hosted jointly by them and Sri Lanka. With the retirement of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja after the 2024 T20 World Cup triumph, there are spots up for grabs in the national set-up which the youthful Gill-led squad would be keen to stake a claim for.
“I think it looks like a good surface. It won't change much later. It has been a long coming. We won an ICC event after 11 years. Very satisfied, hope for many more to come. Don't feel pressure, you have expectations but from yourself, not from outside,” said Gill, in his first assignment as an India captain, after winning the toss.
