IND vs ZIM: It Won't Be Easy For Deepak Chahar: Maninder Singh

The three-match ODI series between India and Zimbabwe will begin on August 18 in Harare.

Senior players such as Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, and Yuzvendra Chahal have all been rested for the Zimbabwe series.

Deepak Chahar, who was injured for much of the year, has been named to the squad, and it will be intriguing to see how he plays in the forthcoming series.

Deepak Chahar Needs To Be Handled With Care: Maninder Singh

Former India spinner Maninder Singh spoke with NDTV on the impending series, Virat Kohli’s rest for the three ODIs, and Deepak Chahar’s return to the side.

Yeah, it has been a pretty long break and he (Deepak Chahar) has had an injury. It is not very easy to come back into international cricket when you have had such a long break because of an injury.

Maninder also mentioned how Zimbabwe would feel confident going into the series following a strong showing against Bangladesh in the ODI and T20I series.

“I would still say on paper, that the Indian team is a lot better than Zimbabwe. After beating Bangladesh, Zimbabwe’s confidence must be really high. The attitude of the Zimbabwe team has changed, there is no doubt about that and they will give competition to India, but I still my favourites would be India,” said Maninder.

It will be the first series in 6 years between the two teams.
