India vs Zimbabwe Live Score: Here’s what Shubman Gill said
India vs Zimbabwe Live Score: Shubman Gill said after the match, as quoted by Cricbuzz, “We bowled pretty well, we let ourselves down in the field. We were not up to standard and everyone looked a bit rusty. We spoke about taking time and enjoying our batting but it didn’t pan out that way. Halfway through we had lost 5 wickets, would’ve been best for us if I stayed there till the end, very disappointed with the way I got out and the rest of the match panned out. There was a bit of hope for us but when you’re chasing 115 and your no.10 batter is out there, you know something is wrong.”
India vs Zimbabwe Live Score: Sikandar Raza becomes ‘Player of the Match’
India vs Zimbabwe Live Score: Sikandar Raza becomes ‘Player of the Match’. He said after the match, as quoted by Cricbuzz, “Feel really happy about the win. Need to take one game at a time. The job is not done, series is not over. World champions play like world champions so we need to be ready for the next game. This isn’t a wicket where you get bowled out for 115. Credit to the bowlers of both sides. Clearly an indication we need to up our skills. I said I don’t care about the result as long as we could be true to the crowd and changing room, we had our plans, we stuck to it and we backed our guys. Our catching and ground fielding was amazing but we did make some errors, shows there’s room for improvement. We knew the fans would lift us up and give us energy, credit to them, it helped us.”
