The Indian team managed to win the series 4-1 after winning the final match of the 5-match T20 series against Zimbabwe by 42 runs. For this tour, the selectors of Team India had picked a young team, with Shubman Gill at the helm, though it also included some players who were part of the team for the last 4-5 years, but they did not get much chance to showcase their talent. One name in this list is all-rounder Washington Sundar, who has also inducted himself into a unique club by winning the Player of the Series award for his brilliant performance in the series against Zimbabwe.
