Ruturaj Gaikwad: In my first 15 balls, I didn't even middle a single ball. Thought the wicket was tough. Chat with Abhishek was to stitch a partnership, in the end it worked well. He chose the right bowlers, took on spin well. Talked about holding our shape as it was a two-paced wicket. Great innings in the context of the game. Bowlers just need to hold Test lengths.
Anirudh Bhatia: "First 7 overs: 40-1 (1*6, 3*4) Next 3 overs: 34-0 (1*6, 4*4) Last 10 overs: 160-1 (12*6, 13*4)
2:33pm 82 off the last 30 balls. Last ten overs went for 160! Rinku gives Abhishek a big hug on the way back, they were the reason for India to turbocharge after a rather sluggish start. Raza tried to get a few chop-out overs but the takedown of Myers and Masakadza signalled a storm that would blow the bowlers away. Zimbabwe would probably have had a great outing with bat if they get close to this mammoth total. Find out if they can with Karthik
