Indian skipper, Shubman Gill hailed Abhishek Sharma and Ruturaj Gaikwad’s knocks as India dominated Zimbabwe in a 100-run win to level the series. Abhishek and Ruturaj’s 137-run partnership after the early dismissal of Gill, helped India post a mammoth total of 234 runs. Speaking at the post-match presentation, Gill heaped praise on the duo and said the two were magnificent to watch.
“Very happy, great to be back on the winning note back again. With the way Abhishek and Rutu batted, it was not easy especially in the powerplay, with the ball moving around but Abhi and Rutu built the innings brilliantly. Yesterday, it was more about not being able to handle the pressure, it’s a young side and many of them are new to international exposure,” Gill said.
“It was actually good to have pressure in the first game and we knew what to expect coming into this game. We have got three matches to go and we are looking forward to them. It’s always good to have more options rather than not having options,” he added.
The third match of the series will also be played at the Harare Sports Club on July 10.
