Indian opener Rohit Sharma displayed exemplary composure under extreme pressure to help his team pull off an incredible win in the Super Over against New Zealand at Hamilton on Wednesday. India needed 10 runs to win the match of the last two balls and Rohit, in his inimitable style, hit two serene sixes to swing the match in India’s favor. The manner in which Rohit kept his wits when the heat was on at Hamilton stands testimony to the fact that he is definitely one of the best T20I players in world cricket, probably the greatest.

Very few players can come with the sort of exhibition that Rohit put up at Hamilton. When you know that the two balls you are going to face will matter more than all the deliveries bowled in the game so far, there is bound to be a sense of panic.
