New Delhi: Former Indian skipper Virender Sehwag touted Australia’s big defeat against Zimbabwe in the third ODI at Tony Ireland stadium on Saturday as “the biggest upset in the history of ODI cricket”.
Lauding the Regis Chakabva-led squad for its historic win over the Aussies for the first time in last eight years, Sehwag wrote on Twitter, “Wow! Feels good when an underdog does well. Zimbabwe beating a full strength Australian side in Australia. Not that anywhere else would have been lesser, but at home beating Australia has to be One of the biggest upsets in history of ODI cricket. Well done Zimbabwe”.

Excellent from Zimbabwe.
First a win against Bangladesh, then giving India a scare, then winning an ODI v Australia in Australia.
All in roughly one month.

History made for Zimbabwe: their 1st ever win on Australian soil ??? Wonderful moment in their cricketing history
We’re seeing a resurgence for ZIM recently: winning 2-1 vs BAN, running IND close, & now winning an ODI in AUS. They deserve more opportunities against top sides ❤️ pic.twitter.com/VZQIAhHJd4
