India whitewashes Zimbabwe – wins ODI series 3-0 at Harare


It was a red letter day for two young Indian batsmen Kedar Jadhav and Manish Pandey, who was playing his first ODI – it was a tough task for these two batsmen to not only steady the rocking ship but, forge together a win to ensure a whitewash. India had already won the series 2-0 and wanted to register a 3-0 win.
And, they did it with aplomb – coming in with India reeling at 82 for 4 in the 22nd over, they added 144 runs for the 5th wicket to finally put up a score of 276 which, at one point of time, appeared a distant dream. The inconsistency among the top order batsmen is a matter of worry for India - it is like a plague and India must get over this.
This has been reported in indianexpress.com dated 15 July 2015.
Kedar Jadhav scored a maiden century (105 not out) while Manish Pandey chipped in with 71 very valuable runs.
For Zimbabwe, Chamu Chibhabha scored 82 to get his team to score 193 runs – Stuart Binny was the pick of the Indian blowers with 3 for 55.
