Pacer Deepak Chahar made an impressive comeback to international cricket with an incisive spell and openers maintained their consistency as India outclassed Zimbabwe by 10 wickets in the opening One Day International here on Thursday. Donning the blue jersey for the first time in six months after a long injury lay-off, Chahar hit the straps right away with figures of 3-27, which was instrumental in India restricting Zimbabwe to a sub-par 189 in just 40.3 overs.
“When you are playing an international game after six-and-a-half months, you are always nervous. Before coming here, I played four to five practice games. The mind and the body were not working together in the first few overs, but it got better after that,” said Chahar about the start of his spell where he looked unsure about his run-up.
