IND vs ZIM | The Indian team defeated the hosts by 10 wickets in the first match of the three-match ODI series played in Harare. In this way, Team India made a great start to the Zimbabwe tour. Shikhar Dhawan (81) and Shubman Gill (82) returned unbeaten as India chased down the target of 190 in 30.5 overs. From the bowling point of view, Deepak Chahar looked splendid, picking up 3 wickets, while pacer famous Krishna and spinner Axar Patel also got the same number of wickets. Despite this, commentator Rohan Gavaskar commented on Deepak Chahar.

Deepak Chahar, who returned to international cricket after more than six months due to injury, bowled seven consecutive overs at the start of the match. It took him some time to get into the rhythm. He was also adjudged player of the match after the match, but in commentary Rohan Gavaskar said of him that he looked "rusty". Regarding this, Alan Wilkins said in the match presentation, "I think the word 'rusty' came up in the commentary, maybe Rohan Gavaskar said so. He would agree, but how did you feel? The more you bowled. do, the more you find your rhythm?"

On this question, Deepak Chahar, after getting the Player of the Match, said, "Before coming here I played some practice matches. I played 4-5 matches, but when you are playing for your country, you have to give your 100 percent. Have to give. I think body and mind were not working together in the first few overs, but after that everything was fine." Deepak Chahar was seen in the first few overs that he was not able to land properly, but as he bowled, he appeared to be in good rhythm.
