IND vs ZIM 1st T20I: Iyer's side seek reset after Ireland and England defeats

Shreyas Iyer's India side faces Zimbabwe in a 3-match T20I series in Harare after losing series to Ireland and England.

India captain Shreyas Iyer has lost six of his first seven T20I matches and needs a result to restore confidence.

Teenager Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who scored 175 off 80 balls in the U-19 World Cup final at Harare in January, is under scrutiny after a tough debut England tour with scores of 14, 13, and 15.

Abhishek Sharma scored his maiden T20I hundred at Harare in 2024 and opens the batting alongside Sooryavanshi.

Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza urged patience with the 15-year-old Sooryavanshi, calling him a potential generational talent.
