Beginning on July 23, Zimbabwe and India will play three Twenty20 Internationals. The first of these three games will take place on July 23, the second on July 25, and the third and final on July 26 at the Harare Sports Club in Harare, Zimbabwe.
Given their recent success in white-ball cricket, Zimbabwe will be optimistic about their chances. The Indian team, on the other hand, has had a bad run, losing to England 0-4 and Ireland 0-2. Let’s have a look at five bowlers to watch out for in the upcoming T20I series.
Here are the 5 bowlers to watch out for in the ZIM vs. IND T20I series:
5. Blessing Muzarabani
Blessing Muzarabani has been the best bowler for Zimbabwe for the last decade. He has played 92 T20is since his debut in 2018. He has taken 110 wickets at an economy of 7.18 with a best bowling of 4/17. Muzarabani uses his tall height to extract bounce from the deadest of tracks, and he will trouble the Indian batters, who were exposed to short bowling and pace by England bowlers recently.
4. Richard Ngrava
Zimbabwe captain Richard Ngarava has risen since taking over captaincy in ODIs and Tests. He has become the strike bowler for the Zimbabwe team. He has taken 122 wickets in 96 T20Is at an economy of 7.36 with best bowling figures of 4/16. Ngarava has shown great control and pace with the new ball and will be a handful for Indian batters.
3. Ravi Bishnoi
Former world’s no. 1-ranked T20I bowler, Ravi Bishnoi, has taken 64 wickets in 46 T20Is with best bowling figures of 4/13 at an economy of 7.58. He last played for India in the recent England T20i series but gave 60 runs in the Manchester game and was benched thereafter. Bishnoi struggled on flat pitches and with his line and length. He will, however, enjoy bowling on the Harare pitch, which helps spinners. Expect Bishnoi to rattle the Zimbabwe battles, especially since Varun Chakravarthy is not playing.
2. Prince Yadav
Prince Yadav was impressed with his pace and variations during the Ireland and England matches. He has played 4 T20Is and has taken 5 wickets, with best bowling figures of 3/22. He was also impressive in the IPL 2026 with 16 wickets for the Lucknow Super Giants with a best bowling of 3/32. Prince was very good with his yorkers and slower ones and will trouble the Zimbabwe batters.
1. Mayank Yadav
Mayank Yadav was a surprise inclusion in the Indian squad for the Zimbabwe series. He has played 3 T20Is in 2024 against Bangladesh and picked 4 wickets. Since then, he has battled multiple injuries and failed comebacks. After an impressive IPL debut in 2024, where he took 9 wickets in 4 games, Yadav has picked up only 2 wickets in the next 2 seasons. He has the ability to bowl fast and consistently but needs to remain fit for a longer period of time to have any big impact.
