A series of three ODIs is to be played between Team India and Zimbabwe. Before this series, Zimbabwe's team has given a tough defeat to Bangladesh in ODIs. In such a situation, the spirits of the hosts are high.

On the other hand, KL Rahul, who was out of Team India due to injury, has returned in the ODI series against Zimbabwe. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see with which 11 players KL Rahul takes the field in the first ODI against Zimbabwe. Through this article, we are going to tell you about the probable playing XI for the first ODI of the Indian team.

The captain and vice-captain can open the innings (IND vs ZIM)

Team India will play the first ODI against Zimbabwe at Harare Sports Club. In this match, captain KL Rahul can start the innings for Team India along with the team's vice-captain Shikhar Dhawan.

Let us tell you that KL Rahul will be seen in the field against Zimbabwe after IPL. This is because he had been out of the team for a long time due to injury.

It will be up to them to handle the middle order (IND vs ZIM)

The Indian cricket team can rely on some young players in the middle order in the first ODI. After opening by Shikhar Dhawan and KL Rahul, ShubhMan Gill can get a chance at number three.

While to bat at number four, the team management can bet on Ishan Kishan. Deepak Hooda and Rahul Tripathi can also get a place with him in the middle order. If these sarees get a place, then surely the Indian team's middle order in the first ODI against Zimbabwe is going to look very strong.

These 2 all-rounders will show the power of the ball and the bat
