International cricket hasn't been happy hunting for Sooryavanshi, who is tipped to be the next big thing in Indian cricket. He returned with scores of 14,13 and 15 in his first three senior T20Is and will hope to justify his selection. Ahead of the first match, Sooryavanshi reminded everyone why Harare remains a special ground for him.

In a video shared by BCCI, Sooryavanshi said,  “We are currently in Harare, Zimbabwe, and this is a very memorable ground for me. Just four months ago, we played the U-19 World Cup here and won it, so it's a very special ground. Representing India is everyone's dream, and it's a truly special moment to return and play on such a great ground where we created history just four months ago. It is a wonderful feeling, so we will enjoy it.”
