3. Rohit Sharma (C)
Rohit Sharma’s journey in the T20I series started in an indifferent manner. He couldn’t breach the double-digit score at the Eden Park. But he had something miraculous in store at the Seddon Park. To start with, the Mumbai batter notched 65 runs and then he gave a good account of himself under pressure.
The 32-year-old took Tim Southee, the Black Caps’ most experienced bowler, to the cleaners. In the Super Over, Rohit smacked a couple of sixes in the last two balls to give India an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series.
In the last game at the Bay Oval, Rohit notched 60 off 41 and was looking set for a final flurry. Unfortunately, he had to retire hurt midway after he sensed some discomfort. After he went off, Rahul became the stand-in skipper. Rohit ended with 140 runs in four games at an average of 46.66.
