Shreyas Iyer’s desperate India seek T20I course correction in Zimbabwe

IND vs ZIM 1st T20I: India registered a convincing victory over Zimbabwe in Harare in the opener of their three-match T20I series against this opposition. The win also ended the Men in Blue's frustrating seven-match winless run in the format. Since Shreyas Iyer succeeded ICC T20 World Cup-winning captain Suryakumar Yadav, India had endured a difficult stretch, losing twice to Ireland and four times to England, with one match washed out. It has been a challenging transition for the revamped side, but this performance suggested that the team may finally be turning a corner.

India's pace attack starred as they restricted Zimbabwe to 125/7 in the opening T20I in Harare after captain Shreyas Iyer elected to bowl first.

Returning from a lengthy injury layoff, Mayank Yadav struck with the very first ball, dismissing Brian Bennett for a golden duck, and finished with figures of 2/18.
