🏏India tour of Zimbabwe 2026: 2nd T20I, Harare Sports Club, Harare🏏 - Page 6

Prince seems to have injured his left leg, hamstring possibly. He was about to deliver his third ball but pulled up. And he's walking back. India are playing just five bowlers today (Dube being the fifth). They'll probably also need Abhishek to fill in. Not looking good for Prince.

In the spotlight: Blessing Muzarabani vs Vaibhav Sooryavanshi

The conditions during the first T20I seemed tailor-made for Blessing Muzarabani. The 6ft 8in fast bowler extracted extra bounce from the Harare pitch and kept India's batters in check. He conceded just three runs in his first two overs and removed the dangerous Abhishek Sharma.

For a while, Muzarabani looked unhittable, if not unplayable. Then Vaibhav Sooryavanshi did what already makes him the one of the most exciting batters in world cricket. In Muzarabani's third over, he launched two fours and a six en route to an 18-ball fifty. At 15 years and 118 days, he became the youngest to score a fifty in men's international cricket.

Get ready for two more rounds of Muzarabani vs Sooryavanshi in the next two days.

Are you catching the match?

SKY, even after winning matches and the T20 WC was removed in the name of non-performance.

Does it not extend to Iyer?

Jab se captain bana hain he has scored well just once.

Well Iyer is better with bat

He scored - 28, 80, 5, 37, 68 vs ENG

10, 3 - vs Ireland

He is good

Can't criticize his batting

Abhishek to Evans, OUT

leaves his stumps open and Abhishek takes them.

See VVS Laxman played 6 batsman with 5 alrounders and bowlers..

This is what i was telling - why GG could not do that? There was no need of Vaibhav vs Sanju. He could have played all of them -

Vaibhav, Abhishek, Sanju, Kishan, Iyer, Tilak, Dube, Axar, Arshdeep, Prince, Harshit....If needed Abhishek and Tilak could have bowled 2-3 overs.

See Abhishek and Tilak are doing bowling too in Zimbabwe.

GG don't know what he thinks, what bothers him...

Congratulations to India for winning the match and the series.

A comfortable win for India. They take a 2-0 lead in this three-match series. So the Shreyas Iyer regime is off and running. The one big takeaway from their defeats in Ireland and England is that India's batters weren't able to cope when there was pace and bounce on offer. Harare has tested them there and this time they were up for it. They'll be happy with this result but again can't read too much into it. There was a sore point though - Prince Yadav's injury. He pulled up bowling his second over and went off the field clutching his left hamstring.

Grateful to play this game, grateful to my family who has always supported me, says debutant Yash Thakur who picked up 2-30. He says the wicket was good to bat and he and Shreyas Iyer spoke about the slower ones were good options here [and that's how he got Bennett out]. Last month, I played white-ball series for the A team and it went well. I like both white-ball and red-ball cricket.
