Team India captain Shubman Gill said after the victory, "Very happy, it feels great to be back in the winning rhythm again.
The way Abhishek Sharma and Rituraj Gaikwad batted. Especially in the powerplay, the ball was moving, it was not easy. Yes, it was about not being able to withstand the pressure. This is a young team and this was their first international performance. We still have to play three matches. It is always good to have more options rather than not having any options." Gill praised his special friend Abhishek Sharma.Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza said in the post-match presentation after the crushing defeat against India, "The world champions will eventually play like world champions.
Dropping catches today definitely hurt us today. I was expecting 200 runs on this wicket today. But they scored 30 runs more. Coming into this game, I thought it would be a close game."He said, "But that didn't happen, the top order didn't play well. He has grown very fast, he is very hungry and his graph will keep on rising. This is something we have been talking about for a long time. Today we came positive and played our shots." Raza targeted his top order batsmen which includes Wesley Madhevere, Innocent Kaia, Brian Bennett, Dion Myers, Jonathan Campbell.
