After four losses on the trot, Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza finally won the toss against India's Shubman Gill in the ongoing five-match T20I series in Harare. Raza decided to bowl first, leaving Shubman Gill and his boys to be in action with the bat to begin the Sunday afternoon.

Interestingly, Raza jumped on the air before flipping the coin, and the technique eventually helped him to break the toss-losing jinx.

From India's camp, Mukesh Kumar and Riyan Parag have been recalled, while Raza has brought in Brandon Mavuta for Tendai Chatara. The Men in Blue gave Ruturaj Gaikwad and Khaleel Ahmed a rest.
