Rohit Sharma, in his first full series as the official captain of the Indian T20 cricket team, was full of praise for Venkatesh Iyer after India completed a 3-0 rout of New Zealand at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday night. One needs to read between the lines when an Indian captain speaks. So, the applause on Iyer’s ability as an all-rounder may not be music to Hardik Pandya’s ears. But the India vs New Zealand T20 series has proved that this team has plenty of life without a Virat Kohli or a Mohammed Shami.
