The Indian cricket team, which recently dominated the T20 World Cup and clinched the trophy for the second time, is now facing a new challenge, this time against (The Chevrons) Zimbabwe. The current T20 World Cup champions will play five T20Is.
Shubman Gill is leading the team, and he is accompanied by few debutants in T20Is. All fresh players, performed exceptionally well in the cash-rich IPL, and looks well prepared. From Riyan Parag to Abhishek Sharma, all have earned the Indian jersey for their outstanding performances in the IPL.
Young guns and their fresh jerseys!
Looking at the three new faces and their fresh jerseys who made their debut against Zimbabwe in the first T20I, India’s emerging wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel has jersey number 16, while bowlers Abhishek Sharma and Riyan Parag have jersey numbers 4 and 12, respectively.
There are high expectations from them, especially since Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma recently retired from T20I cricket. The role of the young guns has become more crucial, and the first challenge against Zimbabwe will be important.
What are Virat Kohli’s and Rohit Sharma’s jersey numbers?
Seniors who hung up the bat after the memorable T20 World Cup 2024 win: Virat Kohli, who scored 76 in the finals of the mega event, wears jersey number 18, and Rohit Sharma, who led the team from the front, wears jersey number 45.
Also, Suryakumar Yadav, whose catch of South Africa’s David Miller brought India back into the game and ultimately handed the trophy to the men in blue, wears number 63.
