Virender Sehwag has praised the bowler Mohammed Shami and batsman Rohit Sharma. For helping India to win in the last three matches against New Zealand and take a defeated 3-0 lead in the five-match T20I series on Wednesday.
Former India opener describing Rohit and Shami’s performances, tweeted, “Aisa lagta hai apunich Bhagwan hai!(seems that we are gods). So fit for #RohitSharma the ways he made impossible tasks possible. But defending 2 runs of 4 balls was an unbelievable effort from Shami. Yaadgaar hai yeh jeet #NzvIND. This win is unforgettable.
In the super over hitman Rohit hit an intelligent undefeated score 15 runs including two sixes. New Zealand Score of 17 chased by India with 20 runs. At Seddon, Park India win the third T20I with 3-0 lead in the five-match T20I series.
