The three-match ODI series between India and Zimbabwe is to begin on August 18. The Indian team will play under the captaincy of KL Rahul, as players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, and Yuzvendra Chahal have been rested from this tour. India also has to participate in the Asia Cup soon after this series. India may be considered a favorite in this series, but the Zimbabwe all-rounder believes that his team can make a big difference. Ryan Burle said that he sees a glimpse of himself in Team India's formidable batsman Rishabh Pant.

 

In an interview given to Times of India, 28-year-old Ryan said some important things about this series. Burle excels in batting as well as bowling and has played 3 Tests, 28 ODIs, and 47 T20 Internationals for Zimbabwe. When Ryan was asked about the plan against India after the series against Bangladesh, he said, "What has been our plan in the last few months will be the same against India as well." If you are a batter, you plan to score as many runs as possible and if you are a bowler, you plan to score as few runs as possible. Our plan is very simple.

 

When Zimbabwe won the only series against India to date in 1996-97, Burl said, "This series is very important for us, we don't get much chance to play against India. So when we get the opportunity, we want to make the most of it. Burl was asked that the Indian team on paper seems to be a strong contender for victory, can the Zimbabwe team beat India? To this, he said, 'Yes, of course, I don't see any reason why we can't win against India. We have played some good cricket at our ground in the recent past. People talk about Heath Streak, and Flowers Brother (Andy and Grant), these were legends in their time. Now we have players like Sikandar Raza, Craig Ervine, Sean Williams.'

 

Burle was asked about the player who inspires the current Indian team, to which he said, 'To be honest, I will take the name of Rishabh Pant. I see my glimpse in them. Short stature, left-handers, and hitting the ball are some of our similarities among us. I would like to pick his brain, let's see what happens next.
