Abhishek Sharma and his ability with the bat is now well-known around the cricketing world, but he has is a handy bowler too, and has shown that in patches in the ongoing Zimbabwe series now. In the 5th T20I, he failed with the bat, but got the  important wicket of Zimbabwe wicketkeeper Clive Madande to sink Zimbabwe in the run-chase.

The wicket was taken on the first delivery of the 16th over, it was a touch short outside off. The ball turned away and Madande tried to punch it towards the off-side. However, he only got an outside edge and Sanju Samson behind the stumps grabbed a sharp catch.

After the wicket of Madande, Faraz Akram did use the long handle to great effect and smashes 27 off 13 balls, but it was all too little and Zimbabwe were eventually bowled out for 125. India registered a comfortable win by 42 runs and ended the series with a 4-1 margin. 

The loss in the first game was a shocking one for India, but the way the young brigade has bounced back speaks a lot about the quality of Indian youngsters.
