India VS Zimbabwe - Dominating win by India by 10 Wickets

India started their tour of Zimbabwe with a comprehensive and clinical win. One hundred and eighty-nine was never going to be enough for India unless Zimbabwe struck early with the new ball. Though both Ngarava and Nyauchi were decent with their opening burst, keeping the openers quiet, they couldn't pick up a wicket. Dhawan and Gill made up for their slow start to finish unbeaten in the eighties. Dhawan's dropped chance didn't help matters for the hosts. Gill was particularly impressed with his change in momentum of the innings.

Deepak Chahar and Axar Patel were the picks of Indian bowlers. They took crucial wickets and never let the host make a considerable total. Player of the match, Deepak Chahar was under lens as he had returned after a long injury. Prasidh Krishna although taken for few runs by tail-enders chipped in with crucial wickets 

Shikhar Dhawan: "I am enjoying batting with the youngster [Gill] and I feel like a youngster too. I enjoyed the consistency from West Indies. I knew that once I was set, I would go after the bowlers. I wanted to rotate the strike as well and then was to accelerate. My rhythm with Gill has settled nicely. The way he bats and times the ball is lovely to watch. He has shown the consistency in converting fifties into bigger fifties. I enjoy [catching at slip] and it has become easy with experience. Our bowling unit did well and it was nice to see Deepak Chahar come back from injury and pick up three wickets. I am sure he would be feeling confident as well."
