Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Leads India to 3‑0 T20I Sweep Over Zimbabwe
India completed a 3‑0 whitewash of Zimbabwe in the three‑match T20I series in Harare, winning the final game by 35 runs. India posted 192/5, with captain Shreyas Iyer’s 27‑run knock, while Zimbabwe were restricted to 157/7.
Teenage opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi scored an explosive 81 off 49 balls in the third T20I, earning Player of the Match and the series‑long Player of the Series award. At 15 years and 121 days he became the youngest male cricketer to win a Player of the Series award, and at 15 years and 118 days he recorded the youngest half‑century in men’s T20Is.
Shreyas Iyer described the series as “flawless,” and interim head coach VVS Laxman praised Sooryavanshi’s maturity, saying he could break international records. Sooryavanshi called the achievement a “dream come true” and vowed to keep improving.
