India VS Zimbabwe Series has become a dead rubber now. The 3rd ODI will take place tomorrow at 12:45 pm Indian Standard Time. This game will be more of an exhibition game and India will be keen to hand out a few national caps. So, what are the previews for both teams? How are the teams shaping up before the 3rd ODI? Here is an in-depth look:
Indian Team Preview Before India VS Zimbabwe 3rd ODI:
The Indian Team is on a very high note after winning games on the trot. The team will be relying on its bowlers to steam-roll the Zimbabwe batting. But it would be great to see KL Rahul get some more time in the middle with the bat and would be great to see him getting runs under his belt. Sanju Samson would be high on confidence too. Deepak Hooda was too good in the last game as well. Shubman Gill and his recent performances make him a top contender for the opening spot in ODIs. Prasidh Krishna has his sight clearly on the ICC ODI World Cup 2023.
Indian Squad:
Shikhar Dhawan (C), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shubman Gill, Rahul Tripathi, Deepak Hooda, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Ishan Kishan, Sanju Samson, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Avesh Khan, Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj, Deepak Chahar.

Predicted Top Performer for India VS Zimbabwe 3rd ODI:
KL Rahul: The Indian captain is keen on getting a few runs on his belt. It is also possible that Shikhar Dhawan might be rested and Rahul Tripath might be given his well-deserved cap. KL Rahul will be opening the innings alongside Shubman Gill. KL was off the game for very long and didn’t have an ideal outing last time. But he will be keen on making a great comeback and striking form just before the Asia Cup 2022.
Venue and Timings: The venue for this game is the Harare Sports Club ground in Harare, Zimbabwe and the game will be streamed on the Sony TV Network from 12:45 pm.
