After failing to turn up in the ODI series against India, hosts Zimbabwe decided to shock the visitors by winning the first T20I of the three-match series. Elton Chigumbura starred with 54 runs off 26 balls, and the Zimbabwean bowlers put up a disciplined show to restrict India to 168/6 in 20 overs.

Well, that’s what they thought

Zimbabwe lose their first wicket, will be looking to build on this and lose a few more quickly.

Elton Chigumbara getting back into his stride

Elton Chigumbura hit 7 sixes today to equal the record of a batsman hitting most sixes in a Twenty20 International against India.

First century great, duck not so!

First-ball duck for Lokesh Rahul. It is first time that India have lost wicket on the very first ball of the innings in T20Is.

Zimbabwe make more in runs 20 overs than in 50 overs.

— Queen of Ice (@crazy_himani)

Amazing scenes they were!

They deserve those celebrations. Superb last over. The tour is finally underway.
— jigar mehta (@jigsactin)

The world wakes up now

And suddenly, everyone realizes that there was a match today.
— Virat Kohli (@lmVK0hli)

Someone should have suggested this earlier

If they'd made the first ODI so exciting they'd have more viewership for the remaining matches
