Dhawan is the Man of the Match for his 116.

Dhawan: 'It was one of my lucky days. You have some lucky days.
I was playing well earlier but getting out. The wicket was not easy to bat
on. But Dinesh and I batted well. That partnership got us through. I'm
enjoying the moment. I'm in good form. We just wanted to play on the merit of
the ball. We just wanted to stay. We knew we could recover later because both
of us had a good range of shots.'

Virat Kohli: 'It was going to be a challenge for the batsmen. We lost
a few early wickets, there were a few tricky calls as well. There are two
sides of having luck. You could get bogged down or keep going. Dhawan kept
going despite nicking a few. Dinesh as well. Pity he did not get a 100. We
ended up getting 294. Those two batted beautifully. The wicket suited
Unadkat. He bowls a good length and has good change of pace as well. The
others supported him well. We are a new side. We are going to be put under
pressure. The guys responded beautifully today.'

Taylor: 'We gave them too many chances and they made us pay.
That partnership (between Dhawan and DK) really killed us. It was a good
wicket to bat on. The top order has to take responsibility for this failure.
We were really slow on the field. There were penalties in place. In
hindsight, we should have just slowed the game down a bit. Our seam attack is
pretty strong. We have to tighten up in the middle overs.'

Yet another comprehensive
performance from India Dhawan set
the tone with a fine albeit chancy century. In the reply, Zimbabwe got off to
a solid start.Sibanda and Mazakadza started confidently but once these two
fell the innings just fell apart. Zimbabwe were then just trying to play out
the 50 overs. They managed to do that. For India, Unadkat had a very good
day. He picked up 4 wickets and ran out Taylor as well. Stay tuned for the
presentation.

India have done well to reach 294 in their 50 overs. Shikhar
Dhawan got a good century, despite all the chances going his way. Dinesh
Karthik has got a decent half-century and it came at a time when India needed
it the most. Once they were dismissed, it looked like Zimbabwe would restrict
India, but Vinay Kumar essayed an attacking cameo to take India past 290.
Zimbabwe started very well, but would rue the chances of Dhawan. However, they have to put it behind them and start their innings positively.
