India vs Zimbabwe 5th T20I: Captains’ Corner
“Excellent series. I think the hunger that we should after losing the first match was fantastic to watch. When we came here not everyone had a lot of hits in the nets. We weren’t really used to the conditions. The way we adapted (was great).”
Shubman Gill(India Captain) said post-match
“It was good today. Good to finish with a win. I felt after the first game it [the conditions] was very similar to South Africa, with extra speed and extra bounce. Lots of takeaways, lot of learnings, lot of confidence going into the Sri Lanka series.”
Sikandar Raza(Zimbabwe Captain) said post-match
