Hamilton: It was Mohammed Shami's last over that won India the third T20I in the Super Over and not his back-to-back sixes, feels Rohit Sharma. Shami came up with a classic last over just when it looked like Kane Williamson (95) would take the Kiwis home with a batting master-class as they needed nine off six balls. Shami removed both Williamson and the experienced Ross Taylor to tie the game. "I think Mohammed Shami's last over was crucial, and actually that got us the victory. Not my two sixes. It was Shami's over where we defended nine runs. It's not easy with the dew," Rohit said.

"The wicket settling in nicely and two set batsmen out there as well... One batsman was batting on 95 and their most experienced player was at the other end. Hats off to Shami to bowl that over and get us back into the game and into the Super Over." India's winning run in the T20s is a good sign leading to the World Cup with everybody cashing in on their opportunities, feels vice-captain Rohit.
