Team India is currently on a tour of Zimbabwe for a five-match T20I series. The first T20I of the five-match series between the two teams was played yesterday at Harare Sports Club where India faced defeat. After losing the first match by 13 runs, an unwanted record was registered in the name of Indian captain Shubman Gill. With this defeat, he has joined the shameful club of MS Dhoni.

Actually, India’s T20I record against Zimbabwe has been quite impressive. So far, 9 matches have been played between the two teams, in which India has won 6, while they have faced defeat 3 times. In the three matches in which India has lost, the team has had different captains. Shubman Gill is the third Indian captain to lose to Zimbabwe in this format.

Before Shubman Gill, India has lost to Zimbabwe under the captaincy of these two captains

Let us tell you that India faced its first defeat in T20I cricket against Zimbabwe in 2015 under the captaincy of Ajinkya Rahane. In that match, the team had to face defeat by a margin of 10 runs. In that match, Zimbabwe batted first and scored 145 runs, in response to which India was able to score only 135 runs at the loss of 10 wickets in the stipulated 20 overs.

After this, the team had to face the second defeat against Zimbabwe in 2016 under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. India lost that match by just 2 runs. In that match too, Zimbabwe batted first and put 170 runs on the board. In reply, despite Manish Pandey’s innings of 48 runs, India could only score 168 runs at the loss of 6 wickets in 20 overs.
