Great Call From Rohit To Go With Bishnoi In Second Super Over: Rahul Dravid
T20 World Cup: India head coach Rahul Dravid lauded skipper Rohit Sharma for listening to his gut call of handing the ball to leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi ahead of a crunch second Super Over, which eventually turned out to be a match-winning move in the third T20I.
Ahead of the all-important second Super Over at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, many felt that fast-bowler Avesh Khan would bowl for India. But Bishnoi came in to bowl and it proved to be a master-stroke as Mohammad Nabi and Rahmanullah Gurbaz holed out to long-off, thus sealing India’s win.
"I think Rohit went with his gut, he went with a call. I think he felt that the spinner had a better chance to take those two wickets. It was one of games when 11 wasn't probably a huge score and where you know that if they batted those six balls, with the power they had, they probably would've got the 12 runs. You needed to take two wickets," said Dravid in the post-match press conference.
