Background

IND vs ZIM, 1st ODI LIVE: Hello and welcome to ABP Live's cricket coverage of Zimbabwe vs India 1st ODI being played at Harare Sports Club. India is ready to start its tour of Zimbabwe as they take on hosts today in the three-match ODI series. While the IND Vs ZIM series is not supposed to produce any hiccups for the visitors, however, it is a sort of preparatory tour for youngsters ahead of the Asia Cup 2022 and scheduled T20I World Cup.

Skipper KL Rahul's form and fitness will be under the scanner. Rahul, considered one of the most vital cogs in India's T20 World Cup top order, has missed plenty of cricketing action owing to injuries. His immediate task at hand after a two-month lay-off is to keep his opening slot in T20 cricket and adapt to the team's philosophy of going hell for leather from ball one.

Harare Sports Club is a batting belter where Zimbabwe chased down Bangladesh's 300 plus and 290-odd targets in successive games in the recently-concluded series.

Zimbabwe would like Sikandar Raza, Chakabva and Kaia to repeat their batting performances from the Bangladesh encounters and show the world that the previous series win was not just a mere flash in the pan.

In all, a 3-0 clean sweep for India is the order of the day and any diversion would be considered a below-par effort.

Squads:

India: KL Rahul (Captain), Shikhar Dhawan (vice-captain), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shubman Gill, Deepak Hooda, Rahul Tripathi, Ishan Kishan (wicket-keeper), Sanju Samson (wicket-keeper), Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Avesh Khan, Prasidh Krishna, Mohd Siraj, Deepak Chahar, Shahbaz Ahmed.

Zimbabwe: Regis Chakabva (captain), Ryan Burl, Tanaka Chivanga, Bradley Evans, Luke Jongwe, Innocent Kaia, Takudzwanashe Kaitano, Clive Madande, Wessely Madhevere, Tadiwanashe Marumani, John Masara, Tony Munyonga, Richard Ngarava, Victor Nyauchi, Sikandar Raza, Milton Shumba, Donald Tiripano.
