Riding on bowlers' commendable performance, Zimbabwe pushed India on the verge of a humiliating defeat in the ongoing first T20I at Harare Sports Club. Chasing a modest target of 116 runs, India fell flat against the hosts' rampant bowling attack, losing six wickets inside eleven overs. 

While Abhishek Sharma and Riyan Parag departed on single-digit scores, their fellow debutant Dhruv Jurel got out for a sloth-paced 14-ball six off Luke Jongwe's bowling.

The incident occurred during the tenth over of India's innings when they were in a pot of bother, having lost four wickets in quick succession. 

After conceding seven runs off his first four deliveries, Jongwe got his revenge by getting Jurel off a well-disguised delivery. 

Coming from over the stumps, the right-arm medium pacer bowled a cutter that held up a bit after pitching. 

As Jurel went for a drive, he ended up hitting it in the air as the ball was cleanly caught by Wessly Madhevere at cover. 

Meanwhile, India had a horrible batting collapse in the first T20I. As of writing, the visitors were 68 for seven, with Avesh Khan and Washington Sundar batting in the middle.
