After the shocking win in the first T20I, things were back to normal for Zimbabwe
Now that's more like the Zimbabwe we've come to know and love.#ZIMvIND

What a debut it turned out to be for Sran...and what a bowler to share a record with...
Sran has become only the second Indian to have picked up 3 wickets in a single over in a T20I after Dinda!#ZIMvIND

The commentators though...
Last ball of his FIRST over, Sran gets a wicket.

Commentator - "Reward for his persistence"
T20's redefining every word, isn't it?
If Sran stole the show in the first half of the Zimbabwe innings, Bumrah made his presence felt in the second half. He now has 25 wickets, just three short of breaking the record with one more T20I to play this year.
Jasprit Bumrah - 24* T20I wkts this year

All time T20I record - most wkts in a calendar year: 27 wkts Dirk Nannes (Aus) in 2010#ZimvInd
Even Pat Symcox fell in love with Sran's left arm in the commentary box..
Barinder Sran 4/10 - second best bowling figures on debut in T20Is.

Best: 5/13 - Bangladeshi Elias Sunny v Ire (Belfast) 18-7-2012#ZimvInd
He seemed so un-Indian...
That looked almost too fast for an Indian bowler. Oh right, he's a Mumbai Indians' bowler.#Bumrah #ZIMvIND

ICC should name #ZimVInd series as #CatchDroppingSeries...

The bowlers listened to their skipper....
Boys, I'll be scoring at run a ball so Zimbabwe needs to go at less than a run a ball - Dhoni in the pre-match huddle#ZIMvIND

The early morning Harare show...
Forget @AllIndiaBakchod, @EastIndiaComedy and Kapil Sharma, the real comedy is in seeing Zimbabwe play cricket. #Kidding #IndvsZim

The quality of cricket in this series has only been matched by the quality of the coverage..
Ten 3's coverage of #INDvsZIM has been consistently poor. Miss a wicket? Wait for the next one. Coz replays are as scarce as rain in Delhi.

We love PJs..
The highest score is of MOOR,
