Team India is to tour Zimbabwe next month and a 5-match T20I series is to be played between the two teams. Before this tour, the head coach of the Indian team is also to be announced and there is every possibility that former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir will become the next head coach of India.

Currently, Team India is being captained by Rohit Sharma but on this tour, a new player will captain the team. In such a situation, Gambhir has given a big shock to Rohit even before becoming the head coach and has removed him from the captaincy.

The series between India and Zimbabwe is to start from July 6.

Shubman Gill will captain the Indian team on the Zimbabwe tour

According to a report by India Express, Shubman Gill can be given the captaincy for the 5-match series against Zimbabwe.

All the senior players will be rested for this series and young players will get a chance. Captain Rohit Sharma and vice-captain Hardik Pandya will also be rested for this series and that is why Gill will be given the captaincy.

Gautam Gambhir will become the head coach of the Indian team

Let us tell you that the tenure of the current head coach Rahul Dravid is ending after the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 and according to all the media reports, Gambhir is going to become the next coach of India.

Not only this, his interview has also been completed and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is going to announce it soon. Gautam made Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) champion this year as a mentor and since then it was almost certain that he would become the next coach of India.

Youngsters who perform well in IPL will also get a chance

Young players who performed well in the Indian Premier League IPL 2024 can also be given a chance on this tour.

Sunrisers Hyderabad's young batsman Abhishek Sharma is also included in this episode. Apart from him, young all-rounder Nitish Reddy, fast bowler Harshit Rana are also likely to get a chance. Apart from all these players, Riyan Parag, who performed brilliantly for Rajasthan Royals, will also be given a chance.
