So, India bounce back and level the series. The third game will be played at the same venue on Wednesday. Let's see which side takes the lead in the series on Wednesday. For now, it's time for us to take your leave. Keep joining us for more cricketing action all around the globe. This is Akshay Bhide, signing off, on behalf of my co-commentator AkshayaKrishna Polya and scorer Paras Yadav. Until next time, cheers and good bye.
Shubman Gill (India Captain): "Very happy. Great to be back on the winning note again. Really excited and happy with our performance today.
Definitely. The way Abhishek and Rutu batted. It wasn't easy batting in the powerplay. It was a delight to watch them bat.
I think yesterday, it was more about us being under pressure and not able to handle it. There have been many young guys and they don't have much experience. It was good for us that the pressure game came at us early in the series and happy to see how the young guys responded today.
Very happy. Hopefully, we have got three more matches and the batters will keep firing.
It's always good to have more options than have no options."

Abhishek Sharma (POTM): "I think it was a pretty good performance from me today. It was not a good outing with the bat yesterday. Not only for me but also for other batters.
It was a good performance after the defeat yesterday. A positive thing was that we didn't have much time to think about it.
I felt that T20 is all about the momentum. I thought it was my day today.
Special thanks to the coaches and captain for keeping the confidence. I feel like if it's your day, you express yourself. After the drop I thought it was my day and had to take responsibility.
Ruturaj Gaikwad helped me in keeping perspective. We spoke after every ball and he helped me as well. He asked me to bat long and said that hitting balls would come my way.
I always believe in my hitting ability. It's about momentum for me. If it's in the arc, I believe I need to hit it over, regardless of when it is.
Thank you very much!"

PLAYER OF THE MATCH: Abhishek Sharma
Sikandar Raza (Zimbabwe Captain): "Yeah, listen, the World Champions will eventually play like World Champions. The wicket was good. You were going to get hit if you missed your mark. But I thought our fielding was not up to the mark. Four catches hurt us.
I expected 200. I feel they got 30-40 runs more. Things would have been different had we got a good start. But again, the top-order is not scoring consistently as we would have liked.
Blessing has been our go-to guy for us since the Bangladesh series. As I said before, his graph is going to get better and he will keep bowling in the same way as long as he is fit.
Our batting, it is a task that we have been speaking for a long time now. Today, the guys came out firing. Some mistakes were done but I feel the guys will learn from it."
