Apart from this there is no change in the Indian team.
Virat Kohli’s ‘Gurubhai’ included in Indian playing 11
Uddhav Mohan, who came in the playing eleven of India’s Under-19 team in place of Mohammad Inan, is also a fast bowler. He is a cricketer from Delhi and comes from the same academy where Virat Kohli learned the art of cricket. In this sense, he also became the ‘Guru Bhai’ of Virat Kohli because the coach of both of them is Rajkumar Sharma somewhere.
Uddhav Mohan will play his first match
Uddhav Mohan, who was included in the playing eleven against Zimbabwe, will play his first match in the Under-19 World Cup 2026. Mohammad Inan got a chance in the last ODI against New Zealand, who took 1 wicket for 26 runs in 7 overs. Despite bowling economically, captain Ayush Mhatre did not give the reason why Mohammad Inan was kept out of the match against Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe won the toss, India batted first
Earlier, the Zimbabwe captain won the toss and decided to bowl first. He invited India to bat first. When Indian captain Ayush Mhatre was asked whether he was happy with getting to bat first, he said that absolutely. He wanted to bat first.
India’s first match in Super Six
This is India’s first match in the Super Six of Under-19 ODI World Cup 2026. Before this, India played 3 matches in the group stage and won all of them. By being on top in its group, the Indian team has got the ticket for Super Six.
