IND vs ZIM / Team India Pacer deepak chahar meet with fans during 2nd odi at Harare watch video

IND vs ZIM | India beat Zimbabwe by 5 wickets to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match ODI series. In this match, the Indian team came with a change, which was beyond everyone's understanding. Shardul Thakur was given a place in the team for the second match in place of Deepak Chahar. But the reason behind Deepak Chahar's exit was not given by the BCCI or even the captain himself.

Deepak Chahar, who took three wickets in the first ODI against Zimbabwe, was missing from the playing XI of the second ODI. With just two months left for the upcoming World Cup, Deepak Chahar is one of those players whose performance is being monitored as he has the power to swing the ball. He has recently recovered from injury and will be looking to cement his place in the team by doing well in the coming matches.

Now that Chahar was not included for the second ODI. So he made up his mind to spend time with the fans. He was seen taking a selfie with the spectators near the boundary line during the second match. At the same time, according to media reports, Deepak Chahar has not played in the second match because he has suffered an injury.

Bowling first after winning the toss, India bowled out the hosts for 161 runs. In reply, India lost five wickets in pursuit of a more or less easy target. Captain KL Rahul opened the innings with Shikhar Dhawan for batting practice ahead of the Asia Cup starting next week but was dismissed leg before by Victor Nyuchi in the second over after scoring a five-ball one.

Dhawan and Shubman Gill added 42 runs for the second wicket. Tanaka Chiwanga, who led India to a ten-wicket win in the first ODI, was broken in the seventh over by Dhawan being caught by Innocent Kaiya. After this, Luke Jongwe gave India two blows in the 12th and 14th overs by sending Ishan Kishan (six) and Gill (33) to the pavilion respectively. Deepak Hooda (25) and Sanju Samson (43 not out) eased the win by sharing a 56-run stand. Hooda fell victim to Sikandar Raza when India needed nine runs. Samson took the winning run by hitting Kaiya for a six.
