In the 1st Odi match, India has cornered Zimbabwe with a huge 10 wicket win. The Twitteratis on this instance goes bitter over the marginal opposition side of Zimbabwe. This is the second 10 wicket victory registered by the Indian team while chasing the total of 150 +. It is a record in itself which KL Rahul and company has registered today. Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill were the heroes for India in the chase while Deepak Chahar and Axar Patel shine in the first innings of the game.
Bye winning the toss the skipper KL Rahul has opted to bat first against Zimbabwe, where the pitch of Harare Sports club as expected assisted too much to the fast bowlers in the first half. Which is why the mediocre Zimbabwe side got all out on the score of just 183. Later in the second innings as India came down to chase Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill stepped in to open, which is the most surprising move for the spectators in the context of KL Rahul.
But as the game progressed Zimbabwe had a good hold in the couple of initial overs but later on Dhawan and Gill started to dictate terms till the end of the chase. Shikhar Dhawan has scored the knock of 81*(113) and Shubhman Gill made 82*(72). In the bowling department Axar Patel, Deepak Chahar and Prasidh Krishna shared 3-wicket hauls. While, Mohammad Siraj took one wicket and the chinaman Kuldeep Yadav went economical by conceding just 36 runs in his quota of 10 overs.
