T20 International Cricket Matches: After winning the title in the T20 World Cup, the Indian cricket team has reached Zimbabwe for the first time. The young team does not include many strong players. In such a situation, it was expected that the legacy of retired T20 World Cup winning captain Rohit Sharma would be carried forward with a spectacular victory in the first T20 International match under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, but this did not happen. The team bowled well but failed in batting.
What did Shubhman Gill say on the defeat?
After the match, Shubhman Gill, who was captaining the Indian team for the first time, said, “By the end of half the innings of the match, we had lost five wickets. It would have been better if I had stayed at the crease till the end.” I am very disappointed with the way I got out and the way the match went. There was very little hope for us. But if your number 10 batsman is on the field chasing a target of 115, then you know that something is wrong.
Shubhman Gill believes that the team has not been able to execute its plans. He said, 'We talked about taking time out and enjoying our batting, but it did not happen. We did not play to the standard we had set. Everyone seemed stuck somewhere.
What happened in the match?
The young Indian team led by Shubman Gill lost to the less experienced Zimbabwe by 13 runs. Indian bowlers restricted Zimbabwe to 115 runs for nine wickets. Indian batsmen faced a lot of trouble after losing four wickets in the powerplay due to the bouncy pitch. The entire team was all out for 102 runs in 19.5 overs. Thanks to fast bowler Tendai Chatara (three wickets for 16 runs) and captain Sikandar Raza (three wickets for 25 runs), Zimbabwe defeated India and made an upset. This was India's first defeat in T20 International in 2024.
