'It's Not Easy': Shubman Gill Give Subtle Hints Of Dissatisfaction With The IND vs ZIM T20I Series

IND vs ZIM 5th T20I: The young guns of Team India have been absolutely clinical in the ongoing series against Zimbabwe. The team did take some beating in the first t20I, their first outing without stalwarts Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, but they have managed to bounce back and have done it in some sensational style. By winning three consecutive matches and taking an unassailable lead of 3-1 in the series, the Indian team is looking to end the series on a high.
