India captain K.L. Rahul won the toss and elected to field against Zimbabwe in the first One-day International at the Harare Sports Club in Harare on ...

None of the Zimbabwe batters looked comfortable during those opening overs as Chahar got a lot of deliveries to dart back late while some straightened after pitching. This is because there will be at least one spinner less in the final composition of the squad as side’s won’t require four spinners for pitches Down Under. (example: u cannot substitute for you, d is not 'the', n is not 'and'). Not to forget that it was also their third century-plus stand from the start of the West Indies series. Rahul foregoing his spot at the top of the order to let the in-form pair maintain its momentum, Dhawan and Gill scored their third half-centuries in last four games.

Here are 5 Zimbabwean players who may catch the KL Rahul-led Indian side by surprise in the upcoming ODI series. Shuvaditya Bose. Published: 17 Aug 2022, ...

With only 1,057 runs in 55 matches at an average of 21.57, the wicketkeeper-batter’s career ODI statistics are not out of the ordinary. Innocent Kaia is among the latest of late bloomers in international cricket. Because the truth is worth it.) One such player of Madhevere’s mould is Ryan Burl, the 28-year-old all-rounder from Marondera. Madhevere is among those players who do perfect justice to the term ‘utility cricketer.’ In the recently concluded ODI series against Bangladesh, Raza was both the leading run-scorer and leading wicket-taker for his side, having scored 252 runs and picked up five wickets. More than a substantial challenge, this series is expected to be a platform for many players to showcase their calibre and subsequently confirm their place in the Indian ODI set-up, at least for the next ODI series against South Africa. In 117 ODI matches, Raza has scored 3,483 runs, with an average of 37.05 highlighting his consistency. Regis Chakabva will be leading the team because of Craig Williams’ absence.

The two pacers Mohammed Siraj and Deepak Chahar worked well in tandem with the new ball and have taken four wickets in total, of which 3 belong to Deepak Chahar.

It was good to see Richi (Ngarava) and Brad give us that partnership at the end. Our bowlers tried to come hard at them, but obviously they batted really well and took the game away from us. I'm fine and the body is fine as well. As it turned out, Indian seamers found ample movement and settled into excellent rhythm after a couple of erratic overs. Zimbabwean skipper: The Indian bowlers bowled really well, put the pressure on us and we lost our way after the first 4-5 overs. For a few of us, it is great to be back in the Indian dressing room. There was a bit of swing and seam movement as well, but it was good to see the bowlers stay disciplined and pick up those wickets. Before coming here I played at least 4-5 practice games and the body and mind wasn't working together in the first few overs, but it got better after that. As a team we have been in good form, good to see that all of us are getting enough game time. Player of the Match - removed Zimbabwe's top 3 inside 11 overs: The landing was a little hard and when you play a international game after six and half months, obviously you will be a little nervous. Indian skipper: We do play a lot of cricket and injuries are going to be part of it. It is a tough time and we worked together (me, Kuldeep and Deepak) in Bangalore.

Zimbabwe showed some solid fight down the order but it was a little too late for the hosts. Goes fuller and just outside off with some turn, Victor Nyauchi looks to loft it but gets a thick outside edge. He says that he backed himself as the batter and will look to do the same with the ball. Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav worked in tandem in the middle and kept the run flow in control. Will the hosts be able to pull a rabbit out of the hat here? Axar Patel bagged three wickets while the latter was a bit unlucky and remained wicketless. Regis Chakabva got off to a good start but was unable to bat deep. Adds that they tried to keep it simple with the blade. He has come back into the side and recorded his best figures in ODI cricket with three wickets to his name. Says they focused on watching the ball and hitting the same. Zimbabwe though would be hoping to start brightly with the new ball and put up a solid fight. This should not be a tough ask for the Indian batters, given the strength in their rank.

Zimbabwe dropped Takudzwanashe Kaitano but were boosted by the return of the experienced Sean Williams.

He started the next over with a four and a six through and over midwicket that took India to 150, and he even overtook Dhawan in the next over. Gill started attacking more when he neared his fifty and brought up the landmark by dispatching two full tosses from Burl through the covers in the 25th over. He soon reached his 38th ODI fifty, his third in four innings, by when Gill had also opened up with three fours in the square region on the off side in one Evans over. Chahar started gingerly before he sent back the hosts' top order in an opening burst of 7-0-27-3, in which he swung the ball both ways and had Innocent Kaia and Tadiwanashe Marumani caught behind by the ninth over. When Axar struck in successive overs by removing Chakabva and Luke Jongwe, it looked like Zimbabwe would be skittled for under 150, but Ngarava and Evans fought back with a flurry of boundaries off both pace and spin as conditions improved for batting. Chahar's swing, Prasidh Krishna's bounce and Axar Patel's accuracy helped them bag three wickets apiece to bowl the hosts out for 189 before Dhawan and Gill hunted the target down with nearly 20 overs to spare.
