New Delhi. On the basis of 15-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s stormy innings and Mayank Yadav’s lethal bowling, India defeated Zimbabwe by 35 runs in the third and final T20 match and won the three-match series 3-0. This is also India’s first T20 International series win under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer. Vaibhav played an explosive inning of 81 runs in 49 balls, while Mayank broke the back of Zimbabwe by taking three wickets. India not only made a clean sweep of Zimbabwe, but Vaibhav and Mayank also made many big records with their strong performance.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s match winning innings
Batting first after winning the toss at Harare Sports Club, India did not have a good start and Abhishek Sharma returned to the pavilion after scoring only 2 runs. After this Vaibhav Suryavanshi took the responsibility and continuously attacked the Zimbabwe bowlers. He scored 81 runs in just 49 balls. His innings included 8 fours and 4 sixes. This young batsman laid a strong foundation for the Indian innings by batting at a strike rate of 165.31. Vaibhav was out on the last ball of the 15th over, but by then India had reached 145 runs.

Important partnerships with Ishaan and Shreyas
Vaibhav first added 75 runs in 50 balls with Ishan Kishan for the second wicket. In this partnership, Vaibhav scored 39 runs and Ishaan scored 29 runs. After this, there was a quick partnership of 50 runs in 29 balls for the third wicket with captain Shreyas Iyer. During this, Vaibhav added 31 runs in 18 balls, while Shreyas played a useful inning of 27 runs in 18 balls. In the last overs, Rinku Singh scored 25 runs in 14 balls and Tilak Verma scored 11 not out, taking India’s score to 192/5 in 20 overs.

Vaibhav’s world record
Vaibhav scored the second half-century of his T20 International career. With this, he became the first batsman in the world to score two 50+ scores in men’s international cricket before turning 16 years of age.

Mayank Yadav achieved success on the very first ball
Zimbabwe had a very poor start while chasing the target of 193 runs. Fast bowler Mayank Yadav gave a big success to India by getting Brian Bennett caught in the slip by Vaibhav Suryavanshi on the very first ball of the innings. The ball thrown at a speed of 147 km per hour took the outer edge of the bat and went towards first slip, where Vaibhav took a brilliant catch. This was the third time in T20 International cricket that Mayank Yadav took a wicket on the first ball of the innings.

Ryan Burl left alone
At one time Zimbabwe was in trouble, but Ryan Burl fought brilliantly and scored unbeaten 54 runs. He also made a partnership of 60 runs with Wesley Madhevere (28), but he did not get support from any batsman from the other end. Mayank Yadav made a comeback and took the wickets of Madhevere and Brad Evans and completed his three-wicket spell.
