NEW DELHI: India's dominance in this ICC World Cup continues to scale new heights, and the manner in which the home team fashioned its victory over New Zealand in the semi-final on Wednesday was yet another example of authority in the series of its winning run that has now extended to 10 consecutive victories.
There were many in the list of Indian performers who can be credited for the 70-run triumph. Virat Kohli's record-breaking 50th ODI century, Shreyas Iyer's second consecutive hundred, the start provided by Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill and the seven-wicket spell by the unplayable Mohammed Shami all proved decisive in India's entry into the final. But among all those names, one that stands out for former England skipper Nasser Hussain is the skipper.
To underline his statement, Hussain, who was speaking during Star Sports' post-match discussion, said that the fearless approach that Rohit has shown as a leader and at the top of the batting order has been infectious.
