Ind Vs Zim - India to Make Big Changes, Here's the Probable Playing XI

Ind vs Zim: The Indian cricket team remained unbeaten in the league stage, winning all their matches. However, they suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of South Africa in their first Super 8 match. If the Indian team wants to secure a spot in the semi-finals, they will need to perform brilliantly and achieve a clean sweep in both remaining matches.

Otherwise, the Indian team will be eliminated from the semi-finals. India will have to learn some lessons from the defeat against the African team. The Indian team may field some major changes in the match against Zimbabwe, which begins on February 26th. This match will be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Although Zimbabwe is a small team, it has managed to secure a place in the Super 8 by defeating major teams like Australia and Sri Lanka in the tournament. Taking them lightly could prove to be a big mistake.

Team India may field some changes.

After the crushing defeat in its first Super 8 match, the Indian cricket team may field some major changes. In any case, the next match will be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The pitch here is considered beneficial for spinners. Spinners have always dominated the field.

In such a scenario, Team India may field three spinners. Furthermore, Axar Patel’s return to the team is certain. Washington Sundar was being considered in his place, but after the defeat against South Africa, Axar’s return is now considered certain.

What will happen to Abhishek Sharma?

The question is being raised about the fate of Abhishek Sharma, who has repeatedly failed. The 2026 T20 World Cup has been nothing short of a nightmare for him. He has failed to live up to expectations so far. Now, there are calls to replace Abhishek with Sanju Samson.

However, the team management may continue to rely on Abhishek. In such a situation, Samson will have to wait longer. Currently, two changes are likely. The return of Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav is considered certain.

India won all four matches in the group stage.

The Indian cricket team won all four of its group stage matches in the ICC T20 World Cup. They first defeated the United States, then Namibia, Pakistan, and the Netherlands. Entering the Super 8, they suffered a major setback against Africa. Africa defeated India by 76 runs.
