Pacers Prince, Mayank & Sooryavanshi deliver as Shreyas tastes first win vs Zim
5 min readChennaiJul 23, 2026 09:46 PM IST After seven winless outings, Shreyas Iyer finally tasted success as India’s T20I captain as a young pace crop and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi brushed aside Zimbabwe at Harare on Thursday. Having struggled to get used to the conditions in Ireland and England over the past month, India made the necessary adjustments, restricting the hosts to 125/7 before chasing it down for the loss of three wickets with a third of the innings left. While it was Sooryavanshi’s maiden international half-century – 50 off 19 deliveries that included four boundaries and as many sixes – that hogged the limelight, it was the pacers led by Mayank Yadav who ensured there wasn’t to be any repeat of the humblings in Ireland. Having rested a few pacers for the trip, the changed coaching staff led by VVS Laxman preferred specialists over all-rounders. It meant batting depth was compromised, but it was still a strong outfit. 🇿🇼 𝐒𝐄 𝐊𝐄𝐇 𝐃𝐄𝐍𝐀 𝐒𝐎𝐎𝐑𝐘𝐀𝐕𝐀𝐍𝐒𝐇𝐈 𝐀𝐀𝐘𝐀 𝐇𝐀𝐈 🥵 𝐑𝐔𝐊𝐄𝐆𝐀 𝐍𝐀𝐇𝐈, 𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐊𝐄𝐆𝐀 😎 Watch it LIVE on FanCode! …
