Enter Gen-Next: New look India start their journey without Virat and Rohit against Zimbabwe

India tour of Zimbabwe: Zimbabwe vs India first t20 international in harare on July 6, 2024. New look India start their journey without Virat and Rohit against Zimbabwe
A new-look Indian T20 team would embark on a journey of self-discovery without their constant talismans, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, hoping to unearth their mainstays for the future in a five-match series against Zimbabwe starting in Harare on July 6.
Even as the euphoria of T20 World Cup triumph sweeps through the length and breadth of India, Shubman Gill, who was a reserve in that squad, will hit a refresh button along with a bunch of IPL performers.
All the fresh faces are expected to make their international debut during the series scheduled to be played entirely in the Zimbabwean capital.
Two young men, who are lined for debut could be Punjab's Abhishek Sharma, who had a stupendous IPL for Sunrisers Hyderabad and the young Assamese lad Riyan Parag, who has given ample demonstration of his capabilities as a competent T20 batter. Both of them tick all the boxes for this format.
While over the past few years, Rohit and Kohli have skipped a lot of bilateral series, especially in the shortest format, their international retirement from the format is bound to be felt more strongly.
The skills and quality that the two modern greats brought to the table will be hard to replicate but as it is the order of nature, the old guard has to make way for the new one.
Zimbabwe certainly isn't the most formidable opposition but in T20 format, the gulf between sides is comparatively lesser than the other two traditional forms of the game.

Allotting designated areas to dump construction waste is a good move by the Greater Chennai Corporation as it will ensure only segregated waste enters the site and that waste is recycled as well. If processed scientifically, construction and demolition waste can be recycled and used to reduce the demand-supply gap in the industry
