3 major reasons for India's victory in the second T20I against New Zealand

2) Backing the players after a humiliating loss

Rohit Sharma: Excellent captaincy

Rohit Sharma, the Indian captain, has been well praised for his captaincy in IPL as well as international cricket. Recently he faced a lot of flak for his team selections. He was under scrutiny as he played too many bits and pieces cricketers and did not use them well.

Rohit, though, backed his players and played the same team for which he reaped very rich rewards. He backed Krunal Pandya in place of front-line spinner Kuldeep Yadav, and Krunal ended up picking three very important wickets.

He also continued with Hardik Pandya when Colin de Grandhomme was running riot on all the bowlers and the results were to be seen. The same goes with Khaleel Ahmed also.

It was really impressive to see a captain backing his players and the players as well responding in a positive way. This was definitely a big reason in India’s victory.
