Top 5 performances from the India vs New Zealand ODI series

#4 Rohit Sharma

Rohit carted the bowlers all around the park

With failures in both the previous encounters, Rohit Sharma needed a big score and he chose the best occasion, the series decider to show the world what he's made of. He entertained the capacity crowd at Kanpur in the 3rd ODI with audacious strokeplay and stunning sixes, scoring 147 off 138 deliveries, which included 18 fours and 2 sixes.

Particularly, his pull shot off Adam Milne for a six over midwicket was easily the shot of the match. This was his 5th century this calendar year, and 15th hundred overall. The striking feature was the way in which he respected the bowlers in the initial overs and teed off after the 30th over, bringing all his repertoire of shots into play.
