ZIM vs IND: Zimbabwe cricket team will lock horns with the Indian cricket team in the five-match T20I series. The T20I opener will get underway on July 6, Saturday at Harare Sports Club, Harare (4:30 PM IST).

All the matches will be played at the same venue. India's tour of Zimbabwe comes to a close on July 14. The pitch at Harare Sports Club offers equal assistance to both bowlers and batters.

It is a pretty good batting track as the ball comes to the bat easily owing to the solid surface. As a result, we can expect the Indian batters to dominate the bowling attack. Let's now take a look at the three India batters who are certain to make a telling impact with the bat in the tour.

1. Shubman Gill: Shubman Gill will be leading the young team from the front. The young right-hander who can adapt to pace and bounce is certain to defy the odds and come through with flying colours. Considering the fact that the conditions can offer assistance to batters, Gill will look to play his natural game by sticking to his drives and cuts. Gill might not have had the best of starts to his T20I career but he must have picked up lessons in the hope of becoming a better player in this format.

2. Ruturaj Gaikwad: Ruturaj Gaikwad is one of the players who is expected to let his bat do the talking in the tour. His technical proficiency against spin will be crucial on the Harare pitch, which can assist spin bowlers. He is known for his ability to anchor the innings by playing risk-free cricket initially before switching gears as he builds momentum. If he sticks to his natural game, he is certain to play long innings and might as well thrive in the middle overs.

3. Rinku Singh: Rinku Singh is surely one of the batters to watch out for in the upcoming T20I series. He is quite a fearless batter who loves to take on the bowlers, particularly in the slog overs. The cricket fraternity has seen him clear the boundaries like a hot knife through butter. Rinku can change the entire complexion of the game, courtesy of his game-changing potential. He is certain to pose a serious threat to the Zimbabwe bowlers with his innovative shot-making.
