'Laut Aao Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma': India lose first T20I against Zimbabwe days after winningT20 World Cup, fans unhappy

It's been over a week since India won the T20i World Cup after defeating South Africa in Barbados last Saturday. However, a week later, cricket fans were all geared up for yet another thrilling game of cricket which was led by new team India and Shubman Gill was seen captaining it.

Zimbabwe defeated the young Indian cricket team, led by Shubman Gill by 13 runs in the first T20I match that was held at Harare Sports Club on Saturday.

Exactly a week after India's T20 World Cup triumph in Barbados, Zimbabwe, which had failed to qualify for the ICC event at the USA and the West Indies, defeated India.

The new team India couldn't match up to what Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya did, yet the young batters tried their best to match up to their calibre. Only captain Shubman Gill and all-rounder Washington Sundar could make a few runs. While the rest failed to make runs.
