India’s predicted playing XI for the first ODI against Zimbabwe
India's squad is full of youngsters, who will get an opportunity in this series.
2. Middle-order batters
Rahul Tripathi, Sanju Samson, and Deepak Hooda will be the top contenders for the middle-order spots. Also, not to forget, Samson can keep wickets which is also another reason for his assured place in the playing XI. On the other hand, Tripathi didn’t get a game in the Ireland tour.
The team management will be looking to Test him against a very inexperienced side. Also, Hooda, who has been in a good form in T20Is will get an opportunity to do well in the ODIs. Also, Shubman Gill can be an option for number three as he hit two fifties against the West Indies.
