Zimbabwe’s tricky posers to India: Their motley crew of varied bowlers, led by 6-foot-9 pacer Blessing Muzarabani

Rinku Singh is likely to play in India's crucial Super 8 T20 World Cup match against Zimbabwe after returning from a family emergency, team officials said.

  • On February 25, 2026, Sitanshu Kotak said Rinku 'might be joining the squad by the evening of February 25' ahead of the February 26 match in Chennai.
  • After a family emergency, Rinku Singh rushed home when his father was admitted to a hospital in Greater Noida, prompting questions about his India squad replacement.
  • Zimbabwe's pace bowler Blessing Muzarabani, at six foot nine, produces steep, awkward bounce that discomfits batters in Chennai training sessions.
  • After losing to South Africa, the India national cricket team must win dominantly against Zimbabwe to stay in the tournament, while Sitanshu Kotak said the team needs momentum to handle pressure.
  • Chepauk ground staff are using a chemical imported from the United States to manage dew, while Zimbabwe national cricket team’s varied bowlers complicate match-ups beyond Muzarabani.
