Below is Parami News Sports’ predicted XI for India vs Zimbabwe 4th T20I:
Shubman Gill (c) – The skipper remains as India’s highest run-getter in two out of three T20Is including going past fifty during the last match with a solid 66.
Yashasvi Jaiswal – Having returned from the third T20I, Jaiswal contributed 36 off 27 balls and will surely keep his place in the side.
Abhishek Sharma – The swashbuckling left-hander may now be pushed down at no.3 but after scoring an exceptional century during second T20I he should not be dropped for rest of series.
Ruturaj Gaikwad – The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain has quietly adapted well to middle-order duties, and narrowly missed out on a second successive half-century in the third T20I. Gaikwad is India’s leading run-scorer in the series so far.
Sanju Samson (wk) – Another player who joined after India’s T20 World Cup 2024 celebrations, Samson should keep his place in the XI as the wicket-keeper batsman.
Rinku Singh – Rinku Singh showed his finishing power in the second T20I with a 22-ball 48, and will keep his place in the side.
Shivam Dube – Despite playing every game for India in the T20 World Cup, Dube is expected to continue in the XI against Zimbabwe, being one of the more senior players in the squad.
Washington Sundar – Washington is making a great case for a regular India spot in the post-Ravindra Jadeja era in T20Is, having impressed with both bat and ball so far in the series. He finished with figures of 3/15 and won the ‘Player of the Match’ award at third T20I.
Ravi Bishnoi – The leg-spinner was world’s no.1 T20I bowler not long ago and would definitely play all matches during this series.
