After the historic victory in the 2024 T20 World Cup, India gave a nice show about the impressive talent. Even though the team went with a much-changed lineup, India absolutely obliterated Zimbabwe 4-1 in a five-match T20I series.
Young players stole the light with the bat through the whole series against Zimbabwe. The top order shockingly showed massive potential. Abhishek Sharma took the charge in the second game, as he blasted an explosive century in just 47 balls. Gill was the turning point through the series as he made two half-centuries. Ruturaj was impressive with his aggressive strokes as well, since he collected 133 runs at a massive strike rate of 158.33. Apart from all that, Sanju Samson and Rinku Singh also made good use of their opportunities, as they made valuable contributions to the success of the team.
After all this, however, the Player of the Series (POTS) award was given to Washington Sundar. As he made a comeback to the national team after missing out on the 2024 T20 World Cup. Sundar showed his all-round capabilities both while batting and bowling.
Even after the limited opportunities to play, Sundar came out as the joint-highest wicket-taker of the series, with a tally of eight scalp. The success for India’s success was all due to his economical bowling, as he had an average of 5.16 run per over.
