Captain Shubman Gill struck a fluent half-century as India claimed a 23-run win over hosts Zimbabwe in the third T20 international in Harare on Wednesday to take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.
India vs Zimbabwe 2nd T20I Live Streaming: After the shock 13-run loss to Zimbabwe in the first T20I, Shubman Gill-led Team India have an instant opportunity to put things behind them and get back to form. With the first two T20Is being held on consecutive days, some of the squad could be rested. Harshit Rana and B Sai Sudharsan - who have been included in the squad for only the first two T20Is - will hope to make their T20I debuts for India today. Abhishek Sharma, Riyan Parag and Dhruv Jurel will also hope to get a second opportunity to score runs after disappointing in the first T20I.
PARIS : India broke a 41-year medal drought in Olympic men's hockey with a bronze in Tokyo three years ago, triggering hopes that a ninth gold medal for the once dominant power in the sport might be on the cards in Paris.
Head coach Craig Fulton is well aware of the expectations from the Indian men's hockey team in the upcoming Paris Olympics and his mantra to his players is to play the game and not bother the occasion. “I agree that the expectations are higher after Tokyo bronze but the bottom line is that the team has been progressing well. They are in the top eight and from 12th in London (2012) to 8th in Rio (2016) to bronze in Tokyo (2020). It was a big jump and now we are preparing for Paris," the South African coach told PTI Bhasha in an interview.
Wicket-keeper batsman Dhruv Jurel proved that he is one for the future, as he made a superb run-out during India's second T20I against Zimbabwe. What made it even more special was that Jurel's genius run-out happened on the birthday of perhaps India's greatest ever wicket-keeper batsman, MS Dhoni. After a shocking loss to Zimbabwe in the first of five T20Is, a youthful India side needed to bounce back. And so they did, with moments like Jurel's run-out played a crucial part.

Siraj arrived at the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport on Friday and fans turned up in numbers to shower their love and support. After arriving in Hyderabad, Siraj told reporters, "We had to wait 11 years for this moment so I am really happy." India's 7-run triumph in Barbados over South Africa was their first ICC trophy in 11 years.
