Team India will take on Zimbabwe in the three-match ODI series starting on Thursday in Harare. choice of Sanju Samson, Deepak HoodaAnd Ishaan Kishan Will get a chance to prove himself while the series will also give a chance to comeback KL Rahul And Deepak Chahri to find their rhythm. KL Rahul will lead India while Shikhar Dhawan will serve as his deputy.
Batsman before 1st ODI Robin Uthappa Said he didn’t see Shubman Gill Opening the batting as KL Rahul, he would like to get “miles under his shoes” as he makes a comeback from injury.
“I don’t really see Shubman opening this series, I think so. My personal feeling is that he can bat at No. 3 given how he has performed in the West Indies, but I think Keeping in mind that the team management is keeping a few things in mind. One is the T20 World Cup and the other is the 50-over World Cup to be held next year. I think the peak is in the last 7-8 years in the 50-over format for us. Has been one of the main stalwarts. He has done exceptionally well,” Uthappa said while answering a query from NDTV during a select media interaction organized by Sony Sports Network, which will telecast the India-Zimbabwe series.
He said, “After Virat and Rohit, he has scored 100 runs. And he is where Shikhar goes in that opening slot as far as ODIs are concerned. You can tell by how he is batting.” That he knows his game well. For I will open the batting with Shikhar Rahul. With KL playing after a break of 90 days, it is important that he gets some time under his wing, and to speak. To have a few miles under his shoes. And get back in the groove because we have the Asia Cup going to be in 10 days so he wanted to be ready and ready for that. We know what KL Rahul can do. when he is fit and in his groove.”
Responding to another NDTV question whether Sanju Samson will get the nod ahead of Ishan Kishan as a wicketkeeper, Uthappa said: “I think Sanju Samson is a better bet considering the kind of form he is in. The way he has done it. We talked about Sanju’s potential in the past and he was not playing to his potential, but we have seen in recent times that when he got the opportunity, he played to his potential. According to how it played.
“Looking at this, he needs to score long runs. And taking nothing from Ishaan, when Sanju gets a long run, you will definitely find a player for the future in him,” he added.

talking about Virat Kohli Taking a break from the series, Uthappa said: “Look, there are only two options, either you take a break or you dive deeper into it. I think, for the past few years, he has tried both. This It’s their call and they believe that maybe, it might be better for them to take a break. Sometimes taking a break can clutter your mind and help you just reset or make you think deeply Time tells what’s going wrong. And that’s probably why he decided to take a break.”
“But whatever the reason, I think Virat is Virat and he is serving the country and making us enjoy his performance, we should trust his call and allow him to explore his batting When they performed the way they did, they thought how to perform at that level with that intensity. I think they just have to find their feet to change the structure within the team, they To release from captaincy and play as a player. It’s a huge change someone like him who led the team for so long and led the team in such a different way. Now the dynamics have changed, I think we need to trust him and trust that he will come back with a bang.”
