22-year-old Yashasvi Jaiswal could be the best batter in the final T20I against Zimbabwe. With an unbeaten knock of 93 runs in 53 deliveries in the fourth T20I, the opener showed intent from ball one and helped his side win the game and seal the series. His knock could once again be crucial for the side.
Probable Best Bowler: Ravi Bishnoi
India’s Ravi Bishnoi could be the best bowler in the upcoming game against Zimbabwe. The leg spinner has had a wonderful series so far, claiming six wickets in four games at an average of 13.83. The 23-year-old will look to put in a similar performance in the fifth T20I as well.
