Shreyas Iyer set a new Indian T20I captaincy record by winning his eighth consecutive toss in the first T20I against Zimbabwe in Harare.
Iyer surpassed MS Dhoni's previous record of seven consecutive toss wins as India T20I captain.
After winning the toss, Iyer chose to bowl first, citing expected bounce on the pitch at Harare Sports Club.
Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza anticipated a high-scoring contest despite some early assistance for bowlers.
India fielded a youthful XI including Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Tilak Varma and Rinku Singh.
