The Indian cricket team, who won the T20 World Cup exactly last Saturday, however, this Saturday things have been subtly different as India saw their first T20I defeat against a team that had failed to qualify in the recently held T20 World Cup.
Shubman Gill-led Indian team did wonders with the ball as they restricted Zimbabwe to a score of 115 runs. But that was enough for ‘The Chevrons’, as not with the bat but when the Zimbabwean bowlers held the ball, they did wonders and dismissed India’s five leading batters in under 10 overs.
Although there was hope, especially when Avesh Khan pulled the game close in favor of India, the sluggish approach of Washington Sundar, which we saw towards the end, did not help the Men in Blue. Ultimately, they lost the game by 13 runs.
Fans Demand Rohit-Virat Return in T20Is
After a poor display with the bat, cricket fans looked concerned, as we saw a lot of tweets on X raging where people expressed concern over India’s batting performance. Since the loss came against a lower-ranked team, this surely came as a setback for the Men in Blue. Lots of fans are demanding Rohit Sharma’s return in T20Is, whereas Virat Kohli, who was the T20 World Cup final Man of the Match, also has fans wanting him to return. Take a look at all the reactions taking X with a ‘concerning thought’.
