Sikandar Raza: A seasoned campaigner for Zimbabwe, Raza has two tons and a fifty from his 30 ODIs. In the recent series in Pakistan, the 29-year-old averaged 136 from three matches. His free-flowing shots can be a major threat to Indian bowling attack.

Elton Chigumbura: One of the most experienced players in the current team, Chigumbura's all-round skills are crucial for Zimbabwe. He has experience of playing against India and will look to build on his one ton, 18 fifties and 97 wickets in the 50-over format.

Graeme Cremer: This 28-year-old has featured in 45 ODIs for the national team and has 56 ODI scalps to his credit. In the recent series in Pakistan, his googly helped him claim three wickets from as many matches and he was decently economical on flat pitches - 5.40 an over.

Hamilton Mazakadza: He scored only 2 against India in the World Cup and Masakadza would be hungry for revenge. The opener hit a fifty - his 27th in the Pakistan series recently and would look to make his experience from 153 ODIs count.

Proper Utseya: A veteran of 161 ODIs, Utseya is not the one to be awed by India's aura. He has 132 wickets in the format but the off-break bowler has been rather jaded in the recent past. The series against India then may well be a sort of renaissance for the 30-year-old.
