Ajinkya Rahane last played an ODI against England in India earlier this year

Indian skipper Virat Kohli has won the toss in the fifth and final match of the ongoing series against Zimbabwe and has decided to bowl first.

India have made two changes to the side with Ajinkya Rahane replacing Ambati Rayudu, and Shikhar Dhawan comes in for Rohit Sharma. Jammu and Kashmir all-rounder Parvez Rasool yet again misses out.
