Till then, it is a goodbye from Kislaya
Srivastava and Aadya Sharma.
Rahul: "I got opportunity with the in the
and now with the Indian team, so I feel
satisfied. Credit goes to the seamers who
have bowled well and given us time to bat. I
am really happy with the way I have batted.
Not thinking about the West Indies Test series
yet".

Dhoni: "The execution has been really well.
The fast bowlers and spinners have taken
wickets from whatever opportunities they've
got. I font mind winning matches easily. After
a long time I will be getting a break, so I will
spend some time with the family."
Cremer: "We thought 260-270 was par at this
surface but we got stuck in the middle overs
which caused a bit of pressure at our
batsmen. We have a T20 squad in mind for the
T20 series and we can be dangerous on our
day. There will be good batting wickets for
T20s."
Zimbabwe made as many as five changes to
their lineup, but still couldn’t stop a rampaging
Indian bowling attack that first kept the
batsmen under a tight leash, and then choked
them into losing a flurry of wickets in the
middle overs, something which they could not
recover from.
The opening duo of KL Rahul and Faiz Fazal
then made short work of the chase, starting
watchfully but unleashing their natural scores
even as the meagre target diminished quickly.

back and pulls it towards deep
midwicket for a boundary to guide India
