After Team India won the T20 World Cup, there is an atmosphere of celebration in the whole country. Everyone is only talking about Rohit Sharma and his world champion team. After the team returned to the country, the whole day was about welcome and celebration, where the team got a lot of love from fans in Delhi and Mumbai. Thousands of kilometers away from this celebration of Delhi-Mumbai, another Team India started preparing for a new challenge. The Indian team full of young players under the captaincy of Shubman Gill will start the T20 series against Zimbabwe from Saturday.

Even before this series, Shubman Gill made some important revelations about the playing eleven, in which the most special was the mention of the opening pair.

The first match of the 5 match series between Team India and Zimbabwe will be played on Saturday 6th July in Harare. This is Team India's first series after becoming the T20 World Champion. However, only Shivam Dubey of the World Champion team will be included in it, who will join the team in the middle of the series. Still, there will be a lot of eyes on this series and a big reason for this is the test of the young players. Some new players have also got a chance in this series.

Who will open for Team India?

Everyone wants to see what kind of playing eleven the young captain Shubman Gill comes with. Especially which two players will be the opening pair? Gill revealed this a day before the match. Gill made it clear that he himself will take the responsibility of opening for the team in this series. Abhishek Sharma and Rituraj Gaikwad are there to support him but this responsibility will be given to Gill's childhood friend Abhishek. Gill made it clear that left-handed explosive batsman Abhishek will be his partner, while Rituraj Gaikwad will come to bat at number three.

Gill wants to replace Rohit and Kohli

Apart from this, Gill did not say much about the playing eleven. However, the star batsman also expressed his desire to replace captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in Team India. After winning the T20 World Cup, Kohli and Rohit announced their retirement from this format. In such a situation, the opening slots in the T20 team have become vacant, out of which Yashasvi Jaiswal is sure to play in one. There is a competition for the second spot and Gill has already staked his claim for it.

He said that Rohit used to open, while Kohli also opened in the World Cup and he himself has also been opening. In such a situation, Gill said that he would like to open in the T20 team in the future as well.
