4 things that need to change for India to win the series

South Africa v India - 5th Momentum ODI
India will be looking to seal the series

#1 Rohit Sharma needs to provide a good start

South Africa v India - 5th Momentum ODI
Will we see the Hitman in the form?

When it comes to hitting the bowlers around the ground, Rohit Sharma comes to mind. After all, he is called 'Hitman' for a reason. Although, after seeing the ODI series and 2 T20 matches, it would look like Shikhar Dhawan is the one who is performing like a hitman.

In the last match Rohit got out on the first ball he faced and that made things difficult for the rest of the players. Although India posted a good total on the board with the help of Dhoni's innings they could have crossed the 200-mark if Rohit would have played carefully. Rohit Sharma is the one who can set the motion of the whole match as he had done in the 1st T20. He did not score a half-century or century in the first T20 but he provided an explosive start to the team which gave confidence to the whole team and this was the reason India managed to get past the 200-mark. So let's hope that he will provide a fiery start to team India and will help the team secure a win.
