India clinches 3‑0 T20I series win, regains No.1 ranking

Entities: Tilak Varma · India national cricket team · Zimbabwe national cricket team · Mayank Yadav · Vaibhav Sooryavanshi

Overview

India completed a 3‑0 sweep of the T20I series against Zimbabwe in Harare, winning the final match by 35 runs and reclaiming the No.1 spot in the ICC men’s T20I rankings. Captain Shreyas Iyer elected to bat first in the decider, posting a total of 219/5. Key contributions came from Ishan Kishan’s 81 in the second game, Tilak Varma’s unbeaten 60, and 15‑year‑old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s 81 off 49 balls, making him the youngest player from a full‑member nation to record two international half‑centuries before turning 16. Sooryavanshi earned both Player‑of‑the‑Match and Player‑of‑the‑Series honours. Fast bowler Mayank Yadav dismissed Brian Bennett on the very first ball, matching a rare debut‑wicket record, and finished with three for 29, supported by Yash Thakur. The series win restored India to the top of the rankings, overtaking England.
