‘We were only thinking about finishing the game without any loss’ - Yashasvi Jaiswal after India’s 10-wicket win in 4th Zimbabwe T20I
Jaiswal's 93* and Shubman's 58* helped India beat Zimbabwe by 10 wickets in the fourth T20I.
Young India openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill wreaked havoc in the fourth T20I against Zimbabwe in Harare, securing a 10-wicket win for the visitors. Jaiswal smashed 93* runs off 53 deliveries while Gill made 58* runs off 39 balls as India chased 153 runs in just 15.2 overs. Both openers looked flawless in the middle and given their form, they have likely secured the opening spot for the upcoming series against Sri Lanka.
Meanwhile, after the game, Jaiswal opened up on his partnership with Gill and stated that the idea was to win the game and to make sure to do it without losing any wickets. The 22-year-old mentioned that he enjoyed his time in the middle and was happy to contribute to the win that sealed the series for India.
