India got off to a great start thanks to Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh, and Mohammed Shami after the Men in Blue scored 186/5 against Zimbabwe in Melbourne on Sunday. As all four bowlers claimed a wicket in their first over, Hardik Pandya joined them. After losing half of his team with only 36 on the board, Shami then chose his second. Then, Ryan Burl and Sikandar Raza put up a fight and started to sew a stand with more than 50 pieces.
The partnership was subsequently broken by Ashwin after clearing up Burl on 35. (22). Later, he adds two more wickets to his total, both of which came in his last over. Suryakumar Yadav's unbeaten 61 off 25 balls earlier in the day helped India set the opponents a mammoth 187-run target. KL Rahul too kept up his strong form and went on to knock multiple half-centuries in a row. After reaching the milestone, he was once more released go. Rohit Sharma scored 15, while captain Virat Kohli scored 26 (25). (13). Rishabh Pant 3(5) and Hardik Pandya (18) were the other hitters to be struck out.
