India and Zimbabwe kick off a three-T20I series later today in Harare. The Indian team under new captain Shreyas Iyer had had horrible outings in June and July in Ireland and England.
In what was a shocking result to all intents and purposes, India lost both their matches against minnows Ireland at Stormont, Belfast. The back-to-back T20 World Cup champions then lost four games in a row in England, with the first game having been a washout.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was particularly disappointing as he scored 14, 13 and 15 in the three matches he played. He appeared to be a bit impatient. His game against short-pitched bowling was also questionable. After being dropped from the final game against England, he is set to resume his India duties against Sikandar Raza’s Zimbabwe, who boast some really nice pace bowlers in their ranks, like Blessing Muzarabani, Brad Evans and Richard Ngarava. Raza himself is a wily bowler and won’t be easy to deal with.
Under Iyer, India are looking to register their first T20 win since their thrashing of New Zealand in the World Cup final earlier this year at Ahmedabad on March 8. When Iyer was given the reins of the team at the expense of Suryakumar Yadav in June, there were really high expectations from him but just in a matter of weeks, things changed for the worse.
