Hanuma Vihari questioned India's selection for the Zimbabwe T20I series, noting the omission of Rajat Patidar, Kuldeep Yadav, and Sanju Samson.
Patidar had a strong IPL 2026 season and led RCB, but was left out of the squad.
Vihari said the squad lacked right-handed batters, criticizing the selection choices.
India won the first T20I against Zimbabwe by seven wickets, taking a 1-0 series lead.
