The Indian cricket team, led by Shubman Gill, made the most of their day off by enjoying a refreshing wildlife tour in Zimbabwe ahead of their third T20I against the hosts. On Tuesday, July 9, the players, their families, and the VVS Laxman-led support staff embarked on an exciting journey to witness the beauty of Zimbabwe’s wildlife.
The day was filled with awe and excitement as the Men in Blue got up close with some of Africa’s majestic animals, including giraffes, deer, and elephants. This delightful break came as a well-deserved reward after India’s emphatic comeback victory in the second T20I, where they triumphed by 100 runs following a narrow 13-run defeat in the series opener.
