Sikandar Raza (Zimbabwe Captain): "I think the wicket was slightly on the slower side to start with; maybe it was a bit damp. We would have liked to get to around 160, which we thought would be par, but given the way they batted today, just raise your hands and appreciate. Even 180 would have been not enough. Today is the day you hold your heads high and say they batted better.
I am very sure we will be a very competitive side in a short time. Even though the last five overs went for 54-55, we could have got more runs, another 8-10 more runs. There was a bit of kick, bounce and we had to reign ourselves in.
They batted really well and batted us out of the game. The wicket was slightly on the slower side and it was spongy. The heavy roller did the trick for them. It became a beautiful wicket.
Hopefully, we will come back stronger in the last game of the series. We want to bounce back well in all three departments. Even if we lose series 2-3, it would be a good result in the end."

Player of the Match: Yashasvi Jaiswal
Yashasvi Jaiswal (Player of the Match): "I think I really enjoyed today. The wicket was good today. I had different plans for different bowlers and I enjoyed my batting.
When the ball was new, it was coming onto the bat. But once it got old, it got slower. I changed the way I batted. Me and Shubman enjoy batting together.
Initially, I thought I would go on in the first 10 overs. But after spending some time in the middle, I realized how to bat and stay unbeaten till the end and win the game for my side."

Shubman Gill (India Captain): "Definitely, I am feeling happy with my first series win as the captain. But I guess the job has not been done yet. We have one more game left to play.
Chasing was one thing we talked about. We could not do it in the morning, so good to get it done.
This is a great team, a great bunch of players. Hopefully, we will be able to take the team forward
I haven't had the discussion with the coach, and if there are any changes, then I will let you know at the toss (chuckles)."
