Brainless overconfident battingIndia D should have chased this. Wasnt even run a ball
Difficult pitch. Players these days are spoilt by belters in business oriented leaguesAnd lol @ our so called depth!
A wake up call.
As they say in desh, ghanta depth.
To anyone watching live... Why is this happening?
53-6: 11.4
Emotions of a world class allrounder who won the World T20 for India . What a sight it was.

Exactly... None deserved a place in wc squad... Did you not hear how some of these supposedly win us the WC if played in lieu of Kohli and sharmaDid I say WC. Blood them in bilaterals.
Blood them in meaningless tourneys like champions trophy. Ipl etc.
Gambhir is lucky...lolDifficult pitch. Players these days are spoilt by belters in business oriented leagues
This team just played 1 match. They are yet to even know each other's weakness, strength while playing together to build the sync. How can anyone compare this to Rohit or kohli who's been playing together years after years.It's time to realize how important Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were to the T20is. It's easy to say things on social media, but nothing beats experience and class. A lot of work to do for our young guys.
They are young lads, they will learn it
Don't panic at all .
You decided this after 1 match?And lol @ our so called depth!

flimsy excuse for a team filled with IPL superstars.This team just played 1 match. They are yet to even know each other's weakness, strength while playing together to build the sync. How can anyone compare this to Rohit or kohli who's been playing together years after years.
Yes, but what if they played like this in a crucial match in WC. they are rightly blooded in bilaterals and some of these will learn in few years and eventually become good enough to take on the big dogs in world cups.This team just played 1 match.

Hope this team feels some and put Zimbabwe in their place... Let see if they can atleast do that in the next 4 matches... This is not just a defeat, it's a defeat against a team which couldn't qualify to a 20 team tournamentOne defeat and former Kaptaan's chicken suckers are out in force.
Have some shame.
I think it's all worked out pretty well so far. We took experienced, solid cricketers to the world cup and won it.You decided this after 1 match?
Players like Abhishek, Parag, Gill, Rinku etc are future players of India. They have blasted better bowlers in IPL than these Innocent Kala's and Luke Jongwe's of Zimbabwe.
It takes a little time. Most are very young and they will only get better. Once bad game does not mean they are trash. I expect them to win the rest of the games.
Lol calm down. We are world championShut up now.
Those 2 failed when they were younger too.Exactly... None deserved a place in wc squad... Did you not hear how some of these supposedly win us the WC if played in lieu of Kohli and sharma
Yea that's why it's a steaming pile of you know what.Isn't vvs laxman coach of this team?
Yes one game is enough to judge depth, breadth and width.And lol @ our so called depth!
A wake up call.
As they say in desh, ghanta depth.
We need Zimbabwe qualifying for tournaments again. Their fans love cricket but the team seems to have random brain fades in the qualifiers.Not a bad result for Ind honestly. The crowd at Harare was buzzing. That's good to see. There's still love for the game in Zimbabwe. This loss will show this team's character and mental strength. Do they become timid and be defensive in the second game ? Or do they take the bull by the horn amd dominate and crush the opposition ? Good result for the series. A 5-0 one sided Ind series win would be boring. Now it makes the series lively and interesting!

And this is not India B this is Indian team without Rohit and Virat
They are too talented to wither out due to the pressures of international cricket. They will bounce back and win the series.I’m coming from the perspective of someone who actually saw every ball in the game including Sundar’s woefully bad last two or three overs of batting.
Also the perspective of these guys being IPL stars - they’ve blasted better bowlers? Sure didn’t look like it. When one IPL star has a bad game it’s fine. But when so many have such a bad game, you have to start thinking.
And finally (remember?) I’m coming from the perspective of that famous statement that a player made that were good enough to field two or three championship teams.
I know they’re are young players, and they are India’s future.
I expect them to bounce back and start to win games
But let’s not kid ourself - at this stage we don’t have the depth that some people were imagining (emphasis is deliberate), and it’s very obvious. International cricket is tough. They have a hard learning curve ahead of them.
And SKY
and Pandya
and Pant
and Jaiswal
and Bumrah
and Kuldeep
and Arshdeep
and Axar
and Siraj
But the rest of the team is same to same..
Yes they deserve to be playing, but the team wouldn't deserve to win the cup- because it clearly wouldn't be strong enough teamThose 2 failed when they were younger too.
.it takes time to develop talent.
Zimbabwe even beat Aussies once. In Australia
They also beat Pakistan in wc.
How many ducks did kohli have in the WC? Or low scores. Give them same amount of chances to fail for youngsters and they would do just as well.
Jaiswal rinku Samson etc all deserve to be playing in t20 wc. Rana too who is a very good bowler.
Don’t know much about socio-political situation there but clearly they would do pretty well with more support from the cricketing world.I am not surprised at Zimbabwe's win. Zimbabwe often beat big teams at home. They beat India, Pakistan, New Zealand, and West Indies at home in the past (within the last 10-15 years).
A full-strength Zimbabwe side can give a fight to any big team's depleted side.
That Zimbabwean side was entirely different. This current team is a nobody squad that even lost to Uganda and couldn't qualify for the World Cup.Those 2 failed when they were younger too.

I’m sure they will.They are too talented to wither out due to the pressures of international cricket. They will bounce back and win the series.
Thats a fallacy. They were not playing t20 bilaterals for a while. If anything this younger core will fare even better than the previous Ind teams especially in KO gamesWithout Kohli Rohit and Jadeja India will lose more matches for a few years you can't replace those 3 easily.
LOL. It’s one match. Nobody has a birthright to win every match. Let the series finish.I’m coming from the perspective of someone who actually saw every ball in the game including Sundar’s woefully bad last two or three overs of batting.

Yeah. I am very happy these players who think they are stars in their own mind were humbled. Need these reality checks to keep them grounded.Much needed spanking for the IPL kids.
We got to the finals with complete no shows from Kohli and JadejaWithout Kohli Rohit and Jadeja India will lose more matches for a few years you can't replace those 3 easily.
