India's young cricket team has showcased impressive performance, winning the five-match T20I series against Zimbabwe 4-1, despite an initial setback. This victory in Harare has been a testament to their talent and dedication.

Continuing a tradition that began during the ODI World Cup 2023, Team India has been awarding a fielding medal to the standout fielder in each match.
