Rohit Sharma returned to form against New Zealand with a brilliant 65. But it was this knock that would seal the deal for the Men in Blue.
The Kiwis had the match won when Ross Taylor hit Mohammed Shami for 6 off the first ball in the last over. Three runs from 5 balls should have been easy but but Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor were dismissed and the match ended in a tie. Time for the Super Over.
India were set 18 to win and Rohit got back the strike with 10 needed from 2 balls. Under pressure? No way! Team India's Hitman once again showed why he is so lethal in the limited overs formats by swinging the bat hard and sending the ball into orbit. 4 needed from 1 and Rohit on strike once again. He swung again and connected well enough. The ball sailed into the sky and ended up in the crowd. That was it, with sheer ease, he had taken us over the line. The series was clinched 3-0, our first T20I series win on New Zealand soil.
Of course, fans did not waste time in praising Rohit for the heroics. After all, the man produced two mighty blows which made the difference between falling short and crossing over. Here's what they had to say:

What an incredible win. Mohammad Shami exceptional to defend 2 of the last 4 balls in the main game and #RohitSharma showing once again why he is one of the most dangerous batsman in the world. A match to remember for a long long time..... #NZvIND pic.twitter.com/CXsLM070u2

Rohit is a man for the occasion. This was just another instance when he stood up for the team. That is why he is the Hitman for Team India.
