Race to become number-1 between Ishan Kishan and Vaibhav Suryavanshi.
New Delhi. The third and last match of the three-match T20 series between India and Zimbabwe will be played today at Harare Sports Club. By winning the first two matches, the Indian team has already won the series and now it will be eyeing a clean sweep. However, along with the team’s victory, everyone will be keeping an eye on another interesting battle. This match will be between Ishan Kishan and Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who is leading the race to become the highest run-scorer batsman in the series.
Ishan Kishan is in the lead
Ishan Kishan has batted brilliantly and scored 116 runs in two matches. His average was 58.00 and strike rate was 170.59. During this period he has hit 12 fours and 4 sixes. His explosive inning of 81 runs in the second T20 took him to the top of the list of run scorers.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi present at number-2
Young batsman Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who played two matches, has impressed everyone with his aggressive batting. He has scored 70 runs, but his strike rate of 250.00 is the best in the series. 7 fours and 5 sixes came from Vaibhav’s bat. If this young man, who created a storm of 50 runs in 19 balls in the first match, plays a big innings in the third T20, he can leave Ishan Kishan behind and become the most successful batsman of the series.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi was out after scoring 20 runs in the second T20.
Tilak Verma also in the race
However, apart from Ishaan and Vaibhav, there are other batsmen in this race. Tilak Verma is also not completely out of this race. Tilak, who scored 66 runs in two matches, is scoring runs at a strike rate of 194.12. In the second match, Tilak played an explosive unbeaten inning of 60 runs in 29 balls. He has hit 6 fours and 3 sixes in the series so far. A big innings can also take him to the top.
India eyes clean sweep
The Indian team has already taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. In such a situation, in the third match, captain Shreyas Iyer’s team will try to clean up Zimbabwe. This is India’s first series win under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer. On the other hand, Ishan Kishan would like to continue his excellent form, while Vaibhav Suryavanshi will look to become the number-1 run scorer of the series by playing another stormy innings.
