India

Rohit Sharma became the highest run scorer in T20 internationals

Rohit Sharma- 10/10

After a couple of poor outings with the bat in the last few games, Rohit was finally back to his best and scored his 16th T20 international half century off just 28 balls to lay the foundation for India's 8-wicket victory and, in the process, also became the highest run-getter in T20 internationals by going past Martin Guptill.

Shikhar Dhawan - 5/10

Dhawan struggled for timing from ball one but somehow managed to hang on and scored 30 runs from 31 balls before a nasty bouncer from Lockie Ferguson cut short his innings.

Rishabh Pant- 8/10

After a failure with the bat in the 1st T20I, the young Rishabh Pant bounced back by scoring an unbeaten 40 runs off just 28 balls to finish the match for India.

Vijay Shankar- 6/10

Vijay Shankar came out all guns blazing and smashed his way to 14 runs off just 8 balls by hitting a four and a six before being caught at the deep midwicket region by Tim Southee in the 14th over, bowled by Daryl Mitchell. Vijay Shankar also effected a brilliant throw from the deep to run out the dangerous Ross Taylor which gives him an extra point.

MS Dhoni- 5/10

The veteran wicket-keeper batsman scored an unbeaten 20 runs in 17 balls to help Indian team romp home safely in the company of Rishabh Pant.

Dinesh Karthik- 1/10

Karthik was a mere spectator in the field as he did not get a chance to bat.

The all-rounder recovered after being taken for runs in the starting two overs and conceded 37 runs from his 4 overs and also picked up the prized wicket of Colin De Grandhomme.

Krunal Pandya- 10/10

Krunal Pandya had a brilliant match as he picked up 3 wickets to dismantle the Kiwi top order. For his superb bowling performance, Krunal was awarded Player of the Match Trophy.

The experienced pacer made up for his poor performance at Wellington as he dismissed New Zealand's hero from last match Tim Seifert and conceded just 29 runs from his 4 overs.

Yuzvendra Chahal- 1/10

The leg spinner was the only Indian bowler who had an off day as he bowled an expensive spell of 4-0-37-0.

Khaleel Ahmed- 8/10

The young left-arm pacer bounced back from a poor outing in the 1st T20I with a brilliant bowling spell of 4-0-27-2 and, along with Bhuvneshwar Kumar, bowled superbly in the death overs to restrict New Zealand to just 158.
