Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja, the three pillars of Indian cricket, retired from T20Is after winning the recently concluded T20 World Cup 2024. Team India is set to start a new chapter in T20Is with youngsters who are willing to fill in the shoes of retired legends. Shubman Gill is set to lead a team of youngsters as BCCI has decided to give rest to several Indian players like Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya, who were part of India’s World Cup squad.
Unfortunately, for India, the head coach, Rahul Dravid, has also completed his term, and he will not be in Zimbabwe to support the young guns. But BCCI has announced that VVS Laxman will act as the head coach in the series against Zimbabwe. He has filled in for Dravid on a few occasions in the past. Now, he is supposed to fill in for the new head coach, who will take the responsibilities from the Sri Lanka tour. This article covers everything about the India Tour of Zimbabwe for the five-match T20I series in July 2024.
