ICC T20 World Cup 2022, Ind vs Zim | Skipper Rohit and team ready to fire on all cylinders

A win will put India in pole position of group 2 but a loss might pave the way for Pakistan, who will go through to the semifinals if they beat Bangladesh

Skipper Rohit Sharma will look to feast on a Zimbabwe bowling attack in his bid to play an innings that is long overdue in a must-win game of the T20 World Cup in Melbourne on Sunday.

With Virat Kohli in imperious form and other top-order batters such as KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav also playing impactful knocks each, the Indian captain (74 runs in 4 games) is in line to play one of his little gems on a ground where he has scored multiple white ball hundreds.

Rohit has been playing some good shots but save the game against the Netherlands, he hasn't fired much in other games. He is too good a player to not get those booming sixes going his way.

Exactly two weeks back, the MCG witnessed an epic Indo-Pak clash and an innings of a lifetime from Kohli but the match against Zimbabwe is no less important as a victory will clear the pathway to the last four stage.

In that context, the match against Zimbabwe is a must-win game for the Indian team, which is runaway favourites to pummel Regis Chakabva’s side whose campaign started in style but tapered off towards the end.

Zimbabwe's batting hasn't exactly fired and against the current Indian attack, it would be difficult for them to put up a stellar show as Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Shami have been on the money.

The only man in the Indian bowling attack, who would expect to put up a better show than he has done so far is R. Ashwin, who has been steady but not extra-ordinary.
