In a surprising turn of events, the Indian cricket team has announced replacements for Sanju Samson, Shivam Dube, and Yashasvi Jaiswal in the upcoming T20I series against Zimbabwe. Sai Sudharsan, Jitesh Sharma, and Harshit Rana will step in for the first two matches.

The unforeseen circumstances stem from hurricane Beryl, which has left Dube, Samson, and Jaiswal stranded in Barbados. The trio, part of the T20 World Cup-winning squad, is set to return to India on Tuesday evening. They will arrive on Wednesday and later be felicitated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Meanwhile, India's updated squad for the series against Zimbabwe includes Shubman Gill as captain and features other prominent players like Ruturaj Gaikwad, Abhishek Sharma, and Ravi Bishnoi, among others.
