After coming off as the T20 World Cup champions, Team India will be in action in an away series as they will face Zimbabwe in a five-match T20I series. Since the World Championship-winning team's players will be rested, a new team will be taking charge and representing the nation in Harare. A lot of new players will be seen in action as some of the IPL 2024 season's trailblazing stars will receive their maiden India call-ups. One such name is Abhishek Sharma, who wreaked havoc with the bat during his time with the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Sharma is expected to receive his maiden call-up, and former India cricketer Mohammed Kaif is ecstatic to see his progress.
