India spinner Mukesh Kumar has been at the top of the order with the ball in the second T20I against the Zimbabwe national cricket team. The two teams will meet on Sunday (July 7) at the Harare Sports Club in Harare.
After India posted a mammoth total of 234 runs on the board, Mukesh Kumar got his team off to a flying start with the ball. The bowler removed Innocent Kaia in the first over and put the opposition under pressure. He bowled well after that but was bowled out by Zimbabwe batsman Brian Bennett.
Brian Bennett, in the third over, first hit Mukesh Kumar for a six on the fourth ball and then followed it up with another maximum on the fifth ball. This put the fast bowler under pressure and he thrived as he took his revenge in perfection on the next ball of the over.
Mukesh Kumar launched a A ball that looked like it had gone in after hitting the ground. Brian Bennett did not opt for the correct shot as he tried to cross the line but missed. The ball crashed into the stumps and the Zimbabwean batsman was furious with himself.
