From the very beginning, Zimbabwean batsmen were unable to score against and then came a game changing over. He took his first wicket in his second over by sending opener Chamu Chibhabha back to pavilion and then in his third over, which was also the fifth over of the match, he grabbed three wickets in the same over. In the same over, two out of his three wickets came in his last two consecutive deliveries.
He ended his spell with four wickets to his name by conceding only 10 runs. This is the best bowling figures by an Indian on debut and second best overall after Bangladesh’s Elias Sunny, who took five wickets in his debut T20I. With his lethal bowling, Zimbabwe only managed to post 99 runs on board. Watch this amazing spell of Sran here:
