It was a cakewalk for the young Indian cricket team in Zimbabwe. The three-match series India have already won it 2-0 and a dead rubber will be played tomorrow before they start their preparation for the three-match T20 series against the host.
In both of the matches Indian bowlers have done an outstanding job that batsmen didn’t get enough chance of match practice.
In the first match seamer, Jasprit Bumrah has taken four wickets and in the second Yuzvendra Chahal’s four wickets haul in the second match. In both of the matches Zimbabwe bat first and were bundled out for 168 and 126 respectively. They failed to play India’s young bowling attack comprised of Jasprit Bumrah, Barinder Sran, Dhawal Kulkarni and Yuzverndra Chahal.
The BCCI has selected a young team resting regular players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan and Suresh Raina.
Because of India’s top order’s clinical performance the middle did not get a chance to bat in the last two matches.
Dhawal Kulkarni didn’t get many wickets but his line length consistency and seam impressed everyone. His bowling kept Zimbabwe at bay.
Captain MS Dhoni who decided to play this series to get some important match practice didn’t have to bat.
He voiced concern for his middle order batsmen as they are not getting any chance for batting at the sporting Zimbabwe wicket.
The young batsman KL Rahul’s 115 balls hundred in the first match andAmbati Rayudu’s sensible innings are two of the most important innings.
Rahul hundred already received praise from big players like Virat Kohli, Indian Test captain.
After these rollicking performances Indian players have given the interview after.
In this series, three Indian cricketers have made their debut. In their debut matches, they have impressed. All of them have come from IPL.
Rahul will visit West Indies to play four-match Test series under the captaincy of Virat Kohli. His form will help him in the low, turning pitches of West Indies.
