Why is Khaleel Ahmed not playing in second T20I vs Zimbabwe?

Zimbabwe are hosting India in a five-match T20I series  at the Harare Sports Club in Harare, Zimbabwe. While the five-match series stands 1-0 in favour of the hosts after they won the opening match by 13 runs on Saturday, July 6. But as they two teams take the field in less than 24 hours at the same venue, the Shubman Gill-led side will aim to get back in the series with a win.

As the two sides took the field at the Harare Sports Club, Shubman Gill-led Team India opted to tweak a change with Sai Sudharsan getting his debut cap. Sudharsan makes his debut at the expense of Khaleel Ahmed, who had a forgettable outing in the first T20I. 

Speaking after winning the toss, Gill said, “Going to bat first, same wicket like yesterday. Best opportunity for us to bat. Looks dry, it’s a nice sunny day. Need to improve our batting. Sudharsan comes in for Khaleel.”
