    T20 WC: India Include Axar, Samson As Zimbabwe Elect To Bowl First, Maposa Replaces Cremer

    By IANS News February 26, 2026 • 18:58 PM View: 261
    T20 World Cup: India have included spin-bowling all-rounder Axar Patel and wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson in the playing eleven as Zimbabwe won the toss and elected to bowl first in a crucial Super Eights clash of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Thursday.

    Both India and Zimbabwe need to win the match after suffering heavy defeats to South Africa and the West Indies, respectively. With South Africa beating West Indies in Ahmedabad, India need to win their two matches if they are to enter the semi-finals.

    For defending champions India, Axar comes in for Washington Sundar, while Samson, who will also be on keeping duties, comes in for Rinku Singh. Samson coming in also means Ishan Kishan has been pushed to number three, in a bid by India to break the left-handed dominating top-order, while Tilak Varma is slotted at number five.
