Delhi: The second match of the five-match T20I series between India and Zimbabwe is going on today, which is being played at the Sports Club ground in Harare. In this match, India won the toss and decided to bat first. Speaking after the toss, Team India captain Shubman Gill said that his team is playing with one change in the second T20 match, where star batsman Sai Sudarshan has been given a chance in the playing XI for the first time in T20I in place of fast bowler Khalil Ahmed. At the same time, Zimbabwe has fielded the final XI of the last match without making any changes in their team.

The Indian team is playing with one less bowler in this match. Khaleel Ahmed, who was a part of the last match, has not been included in the playing eleven for this match. Khaleel Ahmed did not get any wicket in the first match of the series.

He bowled three overs and conceded 28 runs at an economy of 9.33. Khalil played a match for Team India after almost 5 years. He was seen in Team India's jersey in early 2019, but after that he did not get a chance.
