IND vs ZIM 2024 3rd T20I Playing 11 prediction: India set to ring in changes as Samson, Jaiswal, Dube return

IND vs ZIM 2024 3rd T20I Playing 11: Team India will aim to take the series lead on Wednesday when they take on Zimbabwe in the third T20I at the Harare Sports Club in Harare.

Recovering from a shock 13-run defeat in the opening game, India responded with a thumping 100-run win over Sikandar Raza’s side on Sunday. Opener Abhishek Sharma smashed a spellbinding century as India amassed 234/2 – their highest total against the hosts. However, despite his stunning knock, Abhishek could be in for a change in terms of his batting position as India’s World Cup-winning trio Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson and Shivam Dube have returned to the scheme of things.

Samson, Jaiswal, Dube back in

Having not featured in any game during the T20 World Cup, Jaiswal and Samson could factor in for their first match since the IPL in May. While Samson could take over the wicketkeeping reins from his Rajasthan Royals teammate Dhruv Jurel. Jaiswal could slot back in as an opener alongside captain Gill. This means Abhishek could be slotted at no. 3 where he had struck two quickfire fifties during the recent IPL. Despite his unbeaten 77 in the previous game, Ruturaj Gaikwad could make way for Jaiswal into the XI.

With Dube offering a seam-bowling option, the Mumbaikar could replace Sai Sudharsan, who made his debut in the previous game but did not get to bat.

The #T20WorldCup-winning trio is in the house… 👏 👏

… and they are 𝙍𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙏𝙤 𝙂𝙤! 💪 💪#TeamIndia | #ZIMvIND | @IamSanjuSamson | @IamShivamDube | @ybj_19 pic.twitter.com/E0rNOkHmTz
