1/5

Ishan Kishan

Ishan Kishan must be gutted for the fact that he did not get a place in the India squad for the Asia Cup T20s. The Zimbabwe ODIs will be his attempt to prove that he deserves to be in the squad for the T20 World Cup 2022. Watch out for some explosive knocks from the willow of the left-handed opener.

2/5

Ruturaj Gaikwad

It is about time we see Ruturaj Gaikwad firing on all cylinders in the international circuit. A lot has been said about the potential of this beautiful batter thanks to his exploits in IPL and domestic cricket. Gaikwad now needs to make it count at the world level and this series might provide him with the right fodder.

3/5

KL Rahul

KL Rahul is a proven match-winner. He does not need to prove anything, especially in white ball cricket. Yet he will be a player fans will look forward to watch as he is returning after a long layoff due to groin injury. Keeping in mind the Asia Cup and T20 World Cup, his fitness and form will be key for India.

4/5

Kuldeep Yadav

Kuldeep Yadav struggled for wickets for good 2 years in international cricket and found going tough in IPL as well until last season when he bounced back in style. But he was again injured and went through a recovery period at NCA in Bengaluru. He is back to his full fitness again and would be itching to do well.

5/5

Deepak Chahar

Another player who is making a comeback after a long layoff period. Deepak was out due to a series of injuries. Missed important international assignments as well as IPL. He is fit and eager to bounce back. With so many young pacers propping up, Chahar would be desperate to make an instant impact and book his ticket to Australia for World Cup
