Zimbabwe vs India, 3rd ODI at Harare, , Jul 28 2013 - Match Result

That is all for the Harare leg of the series. And that is all from me, Abhishek Purohit, and Vishal Dixit. Cheers

Amit Mishra is the Man of the Match. Mishra: "Always speak to my bowling coaches and they tell me to go for wickets, and not worry about runs. Whenever you take wickets, it puts pressure. Have worked hard on the googly, with Joe Dawes, and lots of talking on it as well. There are a lot of upcoming players in the side and there is healthy competition."

Virat Kohli: "Was important to win to seal the series. Early breakthroughs with the ball, and not that difficult a total to chase down. We are not setting any goals, did not think we had to seal the series today. Zimbabwe still have some inexperience in the line-up and it is about gaining experience. I am one of the few experienced guys in this side and I am trying to take responsibility. Their bowlers have bowled in good areas, they know how to bowl on these wickets, they are using the two new balls well. Our fast bowlers can learn from them."

Brendan Taylor: "Getting quite frustrating now, leading up to the series the amount of work we put in, that not translating into results, and knowing the ability of the players, is irritating. There is still lot to play for in Bulawayo. Generally soft dismissals, guys need to toughen up mentally. Chinouya has been knocking on the door for ages."

No contest again from Zimbabwe. They can say they lost the crucial toss in Harare twice, but the one time they won it, it was also a big defeat. Today, they lost their openers to atrocious shots within the first seven deliveries, and that was the early beginning of the end. The only thing left for India to achieve in Bulawayo is to try out those on the bench

Virat Kohli has a stump in hand as he walks back, first full series for him as India captain and he's won 3-0 with two games to go. A century, an unbeaten fifty, the run-machine working fine.

Jajoo: "I see Ponting's career imprints all over Kohli's career."

Pawan: "Considering Raj Menon's comment I guess the team management's decision of winning the series first and then (hopefully) experimenting with the players is the decision most likely to keep the fans happy."

Prabbu Raj Menon: "It is very difficult to satisfy Indians including me. If youngsters are not given a chance ,team management is blamed. If youngsters are given a chance and India loses , even then the same people who wanted youngsters in team will blame the team management."

Ankit: "Way more couch analyzers here (including myself) than necessary or needed. Give it a rest guys."
