What happened when India last played a match at Queen’s Sports Club?It has been over a decade, 13 years to be precise, since the last time India played at the Queen’s Sports Club, Bulawayo. The last time the Men in Blue played at the venue, Virat Kohli was the stand-in captain, alongside the stars-in-making, i.e. Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Ajinkya Rahane, Mohammed Shami, and Shikhar Dhawan. It was the final match of the IND vs ZIM ODI series; India bowled first, and the young troops showcased their mettle against the Chevrons. Amit Mishra was the show-stopper in the first innings, as he bagged a six-wicket haul, as Zimbabwe were toppled for 163 runs, despite Sean Williams' 65-ball 51. Chasing it down, Ajinkya Rahane scored a clinical half-century, while Shikhar Dhawan and Ravindra Jadeja scored vital 40-odd runs, respectively. As a result, India hunted down the target with 16 overs to spare.Also Read: Shreyas Iyer’s 'Marcus Stoinis Mistake' That Cost Punjab Kings IPL 2026 Title
