3rd T20I: Shubman Gill’s 66, Ruturaj Gaikwad’s 49 Carry India To 182/4 Against Zimbabwe
Harare Sports Club: Captain Shubman Gill top-scored with a 49-ball 66, while Ruturaj Gaikwad hit a quick 28-ball 49 as the duo carried India to 182/4 in the third T20I against Zimbabwe at the Harare Sports Club here on Wednesday.
On a two-paced pitch, India made four changes to their side, with T20 World Cup winners Shivam Dube, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Sanju Samson returning to the team. Jaiswal and Gill had a 67-run opening stand before Zimbabwe enforced a slowdown in the middle overs. Gill and Gaikwad joined forces for a 72-run stand from 44 balls for the third wicket, which ensured India got past 180. They were also helped by Zimbabwe’s fielding being absolutely sloppy and dropping multiple catches.
Electing to bat first, Jaiswal had India off to a flying start as Jaiswal was swivelling, dabbing, and heaving Brian Bennet for six and two fours in a 15-run opening over.
