Its time for another bilateral series. After a 2-1 loss to Bangladesh, Indian team pulls up the socks to face Zimbabwe in Zimbabwe. Not an easy team to beat! Above all India isn't playing the full strength squad. The likes of Dhoni, Kohli, Dhawan, Raina, Ashwin and Rohit Sharma are rested. The selectors have shown a lot of faith in the ever consistent batsman Ajinkya Rahane to lead the team in Zimbabwe. Watch India vs Zimbabwe live streaming on Ten Sports and Ten Cricket HD.

Although India has pitched in a second string team they would be determined not to repeat the nightmare they saw against Bangladesh. At the same time team India is well aware of the fact that they can't take Zimbabwe lightly. This African players play their heart out and if they lose, they go down fighting. So India can certainly expect a high level of resistance from Zimbabwe cricketers.
After Indian team was outplayed by Bangladesh, now Ajinkya Rahane will be under the spotlight. He feels Bangladesh is a past for the team and they should look forward to the future. He is glad to lead the team and he is pretty confident about the squad that he has got.
Likes of Harbhajan Singh, Robin Uthappa, Manoj Tiwary, Kedar Jadhav, Axar Patel, etc would certainly provide a lot of options and variety to Rahane. Most of these players are making a comeback and hence they all would be pumped up to go out there and perform their best.
Zimbabwe had a good batting and bowling order. Their coach Dav Whatmore is also confident of the team and he believes even if Indians have pitched in a depleted squad they still have some dangerous players who can turn tables on Zimbabwe.
Indian bowling coach Bharat Arun says it is very important to get good starts. With young guns like Axar Patel or Sandeep Sharma in the team, one can expect good quality of cricket.
