Riding on explosive half-centuries from Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma, India posted a formidable 219\/5 before bundling out Zimbabwe for 129 to claim an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI thought the boys bowled well in patches, but credit to India as well. Some of the shots they played and the skill they showed today were certainly admirable,\u201d said Raza at the conclusion of the game. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe've been saying for some time now that we can be better in the field, and if the fielding department can support the bowlers a bit more, it'll add extra pressure on the opposition. But I don't want to take anything away from the Indian batters. The display they put on today is certainly something we can learn from,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He also praised wicketkeeper-batter Kishan for hitting an explosive 81. \u201cCertainly, Ishan has done that quite regularly and consistently. I think he's going through a really good patch and batting very well, especially at number three, which can be a very tricky role. He and Tilak batted really well and, like I said, the skill they have and what they showed us today is something we can learn from. Hopefully, it'll help us improve as well.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cBut most importantly, I think I've been letting the team down as captain with my batting. The onus is on me to get it right because the team needs my runs, and unfortunately that hasn't been the case over the last two T20 games. But, Inshallah, I'll do my best to turn it around because the team could really do with my runs.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
