After the bruising their T20 side endured on the UK tour, this Zimbabwe series could be just the ideal fillip India needed.Having finally recorded their maiden win under new T20 captain Shreyas Iyer after seven winless matches at the helm, India will look to secure an unassailable 2-0 lead when they take on Zimbabwe in the second T20I at the Harare Sports Club on Saturday.Following a difficult run that saw them whitewashed by Ireland (0-2) and England (0-4), India’s convincing sevenwicket victory in the seriesopener has restored some much-needed confidence.Yet, even as the visitors look to build on that momentum, one player who will be under the scanner is explosive opener Abhishek Sharma.Two years ago, Harare was the venue where Abhishek announced himself on the international stage with a breathtaking maiden T20I hundred in only his second game.The stylish left-hander returns to the same ground searching for a spark after a worrying dip in form. Having begun the England series promisingly with scores of 59 and 43, Abhishek’s returns thereafter have read 10, 16, 3 and 1.
