Team India and Zimbabwe locked horns in the second game of the five-match T20I series on Sunday (July 8). The Shuman Gill-led side beat the hosts by 100 runs to draw level in the series.

India had lost the series opener by 13 runs before bouncing back in the second game with the thumping win. Captain Shubman Gill's decision to bat first turned out to be spot-on as India posted a mammoth total of 234 for 2 in the allotted 20 overs. The star of the show was opener Abhishek Sharma who scored a sensational 46-ball century.

The left-handed batsman, who was out for a duck on his debut in the first T20I, announced his arrival in international cricket in style. He smashed 7 fours and 8 sixes during his knock to lay the foundation for the big total. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rinku Singh then helped India finish the innings strongly. Gaikwad scored 77 off 47 balls while Rinku hit 48 off just 22.

In reply, Zimbabwe hardly looked like challenging India and were eventually bowled out for a modest total of 134 runs. Opener Wessly Madhevere top-scored for the home side, scoring 43 runs. For India, Mukesh Kumar and Avesh Kumar impressed with the ball, taking 2 wickets each.

During the game, a hilarious incident involving Ravi Bishnoi took place as well. The incident happened during the 9th over of Zimbabwe innings when the leg-spinner was bowling to Johnathan Campbell.

Ravi Bishnoi bowled a flighted delivery outside leg and the Zimbabwe batter tried to play a reverse sweep but could not connect well with the ball. The umpire surprisingly adjudged it a wide delivery before changing his decision immediately after Bishnoi turned back and questioned the call. Both the bowler and the umpire were seen smiling after the comical incident.

Watch as the umpire changes his decision after Ravi Bishnoi complains:

Talking about Bishnoi's performance, the young spinner impressed once again. He picked up 2 wickets and conceded just 11 runs in his 4 overs. In the first game, he had picked up 4 wickets while conceding 13 runs in 4 overs while also bowling two maiden overs. The third game of the series will be taking on Wednesday (July 10).
