The Men in Blue had played Zimbabwe in a five-match T20I series after winning the 2024 World Cup in the West Indies and the USA. The series marked the debut of several youngsters, such as Abhishek Sharma, Riyan Parag, and Dhruv Jurel, and was also the first time that Shubman Gill had led India in international cricket.
The hosts stunned India in the first match, before the visitors bounced back to win the remaining four matches and clinch the series 4-1.
Zimbabwe are scheduled to visit India for a three-match ODI series in January 2027. The matches will be played in Kolkata, Hyderabad and Mumbai. The bilateral tour to India will be their first since 2002, when they played a two-match Test series and a five-match ODI series.
The Chevrons surprised many by putting in a spirited performance at the recently-concluded T20 World Cup where they reached the Super 8 stage of the tournament. The Sikandar Raza-led side defeated Australia and Sri Lanka in the group stages, but could not carry that momentum into the Super 8 stage, where they lost all three of their matches to West Indies, India and South Africa.
