IND vs ZIM T20 Series: Schedule, Time In IST, Venues, Squads and Live Streaming Details. After winning the 2024 T20 World Cup crown, a next-gen Indian team is ready to start a new journey in the T20I format. Also, with the retirements of stalwarts Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja from T20I cricket, India will kick off their first assignment against Zimbabwe in a five-match T20I series.
Following the long wait, India will be entering a T20I series as the reigning champions. Shubman Gill will be in the debut captain ship for India while other members of this ‘next-gen’ squad will be showcasing a brand new era. However, the series follows Rohit Sharma’s, Virat Kohli’s, and Ravindra Jadeja’s official retirements from the T20I format.
The Men in Blue have grown accustomed to playing the 20-over format without Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli for quite some time now. These two players participated in only two T20I series—the Afghanistan and the 2024 T20 World Cup—since the 2022 T20 World Cup. Even when Ravindra Jadeja was around more often, there are still a lot of other player options to replace him with as well. Let’s explore the IND vs ZIM T20 Schedule and all other details
