The second innings witnessed the unbelievable intent of Sikander Raza. Raza in his quest to win the chase registered a century of his own. The match was on the wire as long as Raza stayed on the crease. Shubman Gill, however, rounded off his blazing performance by taking a flying catch to send the dangerous Raza back. Unfortunately, despite the efforts by Zimbabwe, the match went to India who claimed it with a lead of 13 runs.
With this win, KL Rahul got to his maiden series win as a captain as Gill scored his maiden century. And thus, the win proved worth celebrating. And well, the Indian players didn’t shy away from doing just that. Minutes after the game wrapped up, the vice-captain Shikhar Dhawan posted a video of the players having a victory dance. The video showed Gill, Ishan Kishan, and Dhawan among others twerking and swaying joyously. Watch the video here:
