Rohit Sharma was spot on with his decisions

In the final T20I when Virat Kohli was forced to sit out due to a stiff back, stand-in captain Rohit Sharma made some bold and successful moves, impressing one and all with his ability to read the game effectively.

From persisting with Bhuvneshwar Kumar in his first spell to giving Suresh Raina the ball ahead of somebody like Axar Patel, Rohit was spot on with his decisions and also ensured that the match was always within India's control. So, in case Kohli isn’t available to lead the side (like in the upcoming Tri-Series in Sri Lanka), India know who to fall back on.
