Zimgold parent company Pure Oil business manager, Vishal Warrialani said that his company is intent on supporting the cricket team in future.

“We want to continue to recognise and appreciate great achievements such as the one by the national cricket team,” said Warrialani. “We would want to improve our relationship with cricket as long as we also get support. They are a talented group and beating Australia is no mean achievement. On an individual level, Utseya did well, hat-tricks are rare and he also went on to take five wickets in that match bef
