Team India will play their last encounter of Super 12 against Zimbabwe in Melbourne Cricket Ground on 6th Nov. This is or die encounter for Rohit & Co, and against Zimbabwe, this should be a cakewalk for them.
For the match against Zimbabwe Cricinformer has learned that Indian team management is thinking of making some changes in the playing11. Our sources have informed us that Harshal Patel is all set to play tomorrow’s encounter whereas there are also chances that Yuzvendra Chahal might also play.
In practice sessions as well, Harshal Patel has spent too much time in the nets and has worked on his batting as well bowling. If Harshal Patel will be included then, he will surely replace Ashwin in the playing.
Ashwin is being preferred over Yuzvendra Chahal because of his batting skill, and till now, this has proved pivotal for the Indian team in this World Cup. It seems that the Indian think tank is thinking about playing with 4 seamers, and Harshal Patel can provide that batting option as well thus it seems a like-to-like replacement for them.
The match against Zimbabwe is too crucial for the Indian team on the road to the semifinal. If anyhow, any upset happens then they will be almost disqualified from this tournament.
