India beat Zimbabwe in another one-sided encounter and registered yet another ODI series win against the African nation on Saturday. Batting first, Zimbabwe managed a similar score to the first ODI, getting dismissed for 161 after Indian bowlers showed a group effort and never allowed batters to settle in for a long haul. However, India were not as clinical with the bat as in the first match and lost five wickets chasing a below-par target of 162. Sanju Samson ended as the highest run scorer for India with 43 runs. The win, interestingly, also registered the 16th consecutive international victory for Deepak Hooda, since his debut, which is the highest for any men’s player. India have now sealed the three-match series 2-0, with the last match to be played on Monday. KL Rahul registered his first series win as India captain but failed to score significantly as he got out for one run in the second ODI and didn’t bat in the first ODI. The fans, as usual, took to Twitter and shared their emotions as India continued their dominance in limited overs format. Here are some of the interesting tweets –
Deepak Hooda has played 16 int'l matches (ODIs/ T20Is) now and India have won each one of them.

An Indian wicket keeper batsman finishing the match with a six, the tradition continues in Indian cricket.
