Rishabh Pant replaces Dinesh Karthik in the India XI for the game against Zimbabwe
India is all set to play Zimbabwe in their last league game of the T20 World Cup 2022. They have qualified for the semi-finals and a win for them would ensure the top spot in the points table.
Coming into the game, India has made one change, wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant has replaced Dinesh Karthik inside. The senior Indian batter has struggled to get going and has managed just 14 runs in the tournament so far.
It’ll be an opportunity for Rishabh Pant to grab his place back in the side and have some runs under his belt ahead of the big games. At the toss, skipper Rohit Sharma announced the change and the crowd went wild.
He said: “We will bat. It’s the preference of the team to bat first, nothing to do with the pitch. We just want to bat first and give a chance to our bowlers to defend. One change, Rishabh Pant plays instead of DK, he is the only guy who hasn’t played a single game on this tour including the warm-up games, we wanted to give him a game. Nothing changes, we need to do well as a team,”
