Harbhajan says batsman can be a future captainIt was February 2017. Leading Punjab, former India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh was preparing his team for the Vijay Hazare Trophy league stage in Delhi when the state selectors told him about a 17-year-old 'talented' boy. "They told me: 'He's a very good talent. We'll play him in the Ranji Trophy later this year. He'll do well' I said: 'No, if he's a good talent, if he's doing well now, then why should we see him in the future? Let's pick him now. 'Are you sure' they asked me. '100%,' I replied instantly," Harbhajan remembered, while talking to TOI.
His heart was racing when he moved to the 90s and the fear of losing out on getting that elusive hundred did grip his mind but Shubhman Gill was determined to make it count this time, especially after getting a bit of "schooling" from his father. The 22-year-old, who made his International debut in an ODI in 2019, scored 130 off 97 balls as India posted 289 for eight against Zimbabwe and completed a 3-0 clean sweep of the hosts with a 13-run win. "My heart was beating when I got into the 90s. I had got out in the 90s thrice before and never got a hundred in International cricket. It's always special to get a hundred," Gill said at the presentation ceremony.
It was memorable evening for the KL Rahul-led Indian cricket team as it defeated Zimbabwe by 13 runs in the third ODI to complete a 3-0 series sweep. Sikandar Raza scored a heroic ton to give India a mighty scare in Harare, but ultimately the visitors prevailed. With most of the senior players being rested, the series was all the more special for the lot. Earlier, Shubman Gill made his first international century. Gill not only wreaked havoc with the bat, he also caught Zimbabwe centurion Sikandar Raza, who was threatening to give the home side a shock victory.
HARARE: Shubman Gill struck a maiden One Day International century to steer India to a nervy 13-run victory over hosts Zimbabwe on Monday and complete a clean sweep of their three-match series at the Harare Sports Club.

Sikandar Raza's lion-hearted effort took Zimbabwe on the cusp of a famous victory before India held their nerves to pull off a 13-run win in the third ODI and complete a series sweep in Harare on Monday. The final game of the series too was heading India's way until Raza (115 off 95 balls) brought Zimbabwe back into the contest with the support of Brad Evans (28 off 36). The duo shared a 104-run stand off 77 balls for the eighth wicket to raise hopes of a memorable result against their mighty opponents. However, Raza fell to a brilliant catch by Shubman Gill in the penultimate over, as India scraped through.
Sikandar Raza hit a superb century but fell just short of the finish line as India held their nerves to defeat Zimbabwe by 13 runs in the third ODI in Harare on Monday to complete a 3-0 sweep.
