Harare : Virat Kohli made his second ODI century as captain and 15th overall to become Indias third-highest century-maker and Ambati Rayudu marked his international debut with a promising 63* as India completed a one-sided victory over Zimbabwe in Harare to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.
Chasing 229 on a decent batting pitch, India took advantage of a lacklustre bowling effort from Zimbabwe to cruise to their ninth win of the summer, out of a total of 11 played, reaching the target with four wickets in hand and 31 balls to spare.
The result continues Indias impressive winning streak over the past six weeks and gives Kohli an understanding of the captaincy in the absence of experienced players.
