Twitter Reactions: India escapes with a narrow win against Zimbabwe: India began their tour of Zimbabwe with a narrow 4 run victory in 1st of 3 ODI games series. Indians struggled with the bat before they were rescued by a century from Indian middle order Ambati Rayudu and a good knock from all-rounder Stuart Binny which was followed by a brilliant century from Elton Chigumbura. However Bhuvneshwar Kumar managed to defend 10 runs in the final over giving away only 5 runs.

Here are the best tweets during the match.

Not a great comeback game for Vijay.

In his first ODI in two years, Vijay is caught at slip for 1 off 9 https://t.co/U7WLcYiECD #ZIMvIND

Murali Vijay 1(9)
Manoj Tiwary 2(14)
Robin Uthappa 0(3)
Kedar Jadhav 5(13) #ZIMvIND

Only if Binny got out on 67 rather than on 77, we could have 1 2 34 5 67.

0 – Uthappa
1 – Vijay
2 – Tiwary
34 – Rahane
5 – Jadhav
Five Indian wickets to have fallen. I love you Math! #INDvsZIM @mohanstatsman

Always tries to make most of the chances he gets.

Respect for Rayudu…he does make the most of the chances given to him. #ZIMvIND

Ashwin on fire today.

@ashwinravi99: Rayudu just beat his previous best but continues to remain unbeaten.

Decent comebcak for Harbhajan. Picked up a crucial wicket of Sikandar Raza.

The last ODI Harbhajan Singh played was at Antigua in June 2011. Made 41 & 10-2-24-1
But did not play an ODI for more than 4 years#ZimvInd

Well played Chigumbura.

Whatever be the result. That was one hell of an innings from Chigumbura. One of the best in recent times. #ZIMvIND
