India beat Zimbabwe by 7 wickets in Shreyas Iyer’s first win as captain

1 min readJul 23, 2026 07:47 PM IST Vaibhav Sooryavanshi smashed 50 in 19 balls as India eased to a seven wicket win against Zimbabwe in the first T20I in Harare with 40 balls to spare. Shreyas Iyer has thus finally recorded his first win as India’s T20I captain, having lost six out of his first seven games in the tours of Ireland and England. India’s new-look pace lineup led the way with Mayank Yadav and Prince Yadav returning figures of 2/18 and 2/19 respectively as Zimbabwe were restricted to a paltry score of 125/7 in 20 overs. Sooryavanshi then launched a trademark assault on the Zimbabwean bowlers, which pretty much sealed the deal for India. He fell to Richard Ngarava in the seventh over, by which time India had already raced to 68 runs. To be updated… Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, or text presented here.

5 min readJul 22, 2026 08:31 PM IST When India announced their squad for the three-match T20I series against Zimbabwe, the biggest talking point wasn’t who had been rested. Arshdeep Singh was given a breather with the upcoming series starting a few days after a long Ireland and England tour, while Jasprit Bumrah’s workload is increasingly being managed, with the selectors likely to use him selectively in T20Is while prioritising ODIs. Instead, the spotlight fell on a pace attack that offered a glimpse into India’s future. Mayank Yadav made a comeback to the national setup after a gap of almost two years, while Ashok Sharma and Yash Thakur earned their maiden call-ups. Collectively, the trio represented the next layer of India’s fast-bowling reserves, one that the selectors and team management will hope can eventually ease the burden on Bumrah and Arshdeep. That makes the Zimbabwe series more than a routine tour: India’s first real chance to assess whether the next generation of pacers are ready to bridge the gap from domestic cricket and the IPL …
