India vs Zimbabwe 1st T20I Live Streaming: The Indian team has entered the transitional phase as the young brigade will take the centerstage with senior pros Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja retiring from the shortest format. The five-match T20I series will kickstart a new era in T20I cricket for India as Shubman Gill will lead the young side filled with IPL stars.
Shubman has already announced that Abhishek Sharma will open the innings alongside him in the first T20I, while Chennai Super Kings skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad will bat at number 3.
