Due to these reasons, Team India had to face defeat, many big players including Gaikwad failed

IND vs ZIM: Zimbabwe defeated India by 13 runs in the first match of the T20 series. Playing first, the Zimbabwean team could only score 115 runs in the stipulated 20 overs. It seemed like a small score, but the Indian team gave up in front of it. India's condition was so bad that 8 batsmen of the team could not even touch the double digit mark in terms of runs. Indian fans had high expectations from players like Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rinku Singh, but they did not live up to the expectations. So let's know about the 3 reasons due to which India lost to Zimbabwe.

Could not get Zimbabwe all out even under 100 runs
India won the toss and invited Zimbabwe to bat first. Ravi Bishnoi and Washington Sundar's spin destroyed Zimbabwe's batting. At one point the host team's score was 90 runs for 9 wickets, but from here Clive Madande played an unbeaten innings of 29 runs in 25 balls and took the team's score to 115. It would probably not be wrong to say that Madande's innings of 29 runs finally destroyed India's batting. If Zimbabwe had been stopped at less than 100 runs, then Team India Mentally, victory could have been easier for .

Nobody supported Shabman Gill
The Indian team came into the field chasing a target of 116 runs. Abhishek Sharma was out on a score of zero in the very first over. At the same time, Rituraj Gaikwad and Rinku Singh could not do anything special. Apart from Abhishek Sharma, Riyan Parag and Dhruv Jurel made their T20 debut for India in this match, but all three could not even cross the double-digit mark while playing big innings. Meanwhile, Shubman Gill stood firmly from one end, who scored 31 runs in 29 balls, but due to lack of support from the other end, captain Gill also lost his wicket.

poor fielding

If you have watched the India vs Zimbabwe match live, then you will know that there was a lot of difference in the fielding of both the teams. When India was fielding first, many players including Avesh Khan, Mukesh Kumar and Washington Sundar gave extra runs due to poor fielding. Even Avesh Khan dropped an easy catch of Brian Bennett off Khalil Ahmed. He missed the catch and got a four. At the same time, excellent fielding was done by Zimbabwe in the death overs and in the last overs, the fielders stopped 2 shots of Washington Sundar from reaching the boundary.
