After failing to turn up in the ODI series against India, hosts Zimbabwe decided to shock the visitors by winning the first T20I of the three-match series. Elton Chigumbura starred with 54 runs off 26 balls, and the Zimbabwean bowlers put up a disciplined show to restrict India to 168/6 in 20 overs.

Well, that’s what they thought

Zimbabwe lose their first wicket, will be looking to build on this and lose a few more quickly. #ZIMvIND

First century great, duck not so!

First-ball duck for Lokesh Rahul. It is first time that India have lost wicket on the very first ball of the innings in T20Is. #IndvsZim

The world wakes up now

And suddenly, everyone realizes that there was a match today. #ZIMvIND

Someone should have suggested this earlier

If they'd made the first ODI so exciting they'd have more viewership for the remaining matches #INDvsZIM
