IND vs ZIM: T20 World Champions India won the toss and decided to bat first against Zimbabwe in the second T20I of the five-match test series on Sunday. India made one change to their playing XI in the form of Sai Sudharsan, who is making his T20I debut. He will replace pacer Khaleel Ahmed. Will India bounce backThe young star-studded team India will look to bounce back from the shocking defeat in the first T20I. After an impressive bowling display, the Indian batting lineup scattered like a deck of cards. Eight batters were dismissed within single-digit scores and failed to chase a below-par target of 116 runs at the same venue.Slower balls: Weakness of Indian batting In the first encounter, Indian batters played some ugly-looking shots to throw their wickets away at regular intervals as Zimbabwe took advantage of it. The match also exposed Indias weakness on slower deliveries.What does Shubman Gill say after winning tossAfter winning the toss, Shubman Gill stated, We bowled well but let ourselves down in the field. We werent up to standard, and everyone seemed a bit rusty. We talked about taking our time and enjoying our batting, but things didnt go as planned. By halfway, we had lost 5 wickets. It would have been ideal if I stayed till the end Im very disappointed with how I got out and how the rest of the match unfolded. There was a glimmer of hope, but when your number 10 batter is out there chasing 115, you know something is wrong.Playing XIIndia (Playing XI): Shubman Gill(c), Abhishek Sharma, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Sai Sudharsan, Riyan Parag, Rinku Singh, Dhruv Jurel(w), Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Mukesh Kumar.🚨 Toss Update 🚨#TeamIndia elect to bat in the 2nd T20I.One change in the Playing XI as Sai Sudharsan makes his T20I Debut 👏👏Follow The Match ▶️ https://t.co/yO8XjNpOro#ZIMvIND pic.twitter.com/IRQUvxEd3O— BCCI (@BCCI) July 7, 2024Zimbabwe (Playing XI): Wessly Madhevere, Innocent Kaia, Brian Bennett, Sikandar Raza(c), Dion Myers, Johnathan Campbell, Clive Madande(w), Wellington Masakadza, Luke Jongwe, Blessing Muzarabani, Tendai Chatara.
