After the three consecutive victories in the first 3 ODI matches in Napier and Mount Maunganui Indian team made an impressive lead in the series which pressurized the New Zealand team. Well though India lost the 4th ODI match led by Rohit Sharma. But Rohit Sharma showed his captaincy skills again by winning the last ODI match by 35 runs leading to a series win.
Nevertheless,the last match was a nail biting match as both the teams performed well by giving a fair competition to get the better of each other. Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bat first, but the fortune was with the New-Zealand bowlers with India making a poor start by giving away 4 wickets for 18 in the 10th over. Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Shikhar Dhawan all of them were long gone inside 10 overs.
However, after that India was back in the game with Ambati Rayudu's & Vijay Shankar's 98-run partnership.The outstanding partnership was about to break with Vijay Shankar's run out.Then the game was with Hardik Pandya who made a blasting 45-runs from 22 balls. However, in the end India made 252 in 50 overs.While in the 1st session, for Black Cap bowler Matt Henry was most successful with four wickets.
In the 2nd session, New Zealand has to make 253 runs in order to win the match but they desperately failed in making runs as well as saving their wickets against Indian bowlers. Best black caps batsman Colin Munro,Kane Williamson, James Neesham & Mitchell Santner were out scoring 24, 39, 37 and 44 runs respectively. Indian bowlers fired their ball to New-Zealand's batsman with Mohammad Shami & Hardik Pandya both taking 2 wickets in their respective spells.
Both Indian batsman and bowlers dominated their way to the victory despite of being in pressure and winning the ODI series under Rohit Sharma's captaincy. A huge achievement for Indian team and captain. After collecting the winner's trophy, all the players were in joy mood and in the meantime Kedhar Jadhav shouted 'How's the Josh' and other cricketers replied 'High Sir'. Yes you guessed it right this is the same dialogue from the recently released movie 'Surgical Strike'.
