Wore Shankar's no.59 in Auckland, wearing Hardik Pandya's no.33 today... wondering what happened to Rohit Sharma's own T20I jerseys... #NZvInd

Shikhar Dhawan has this unique talent of playing a lofted shot and picking the only fielder outside the 30 yards circle.

38 from 32 for Rohit Sharma when the team is chasing 200+ but nobody will Troll him because his name isn't Mahendra Singh Dhoni

Dinesh Karthik's decision to not run is inexcusable and inexplicable. #indvsnz

Dinesh Karthik wasted 2 deliveries even denied taking a single

Dinesh Karthik thinks he was Dhoni. Okay absolutely fine. But he thought Krunal Pandya is Ashwin????? #NZvIND

— Sameer Allana (@HitmanCricket) February 10, 2019

What was Dinesh Karthik thinking? Refusing a single in the last over, with Krunal Pandya blazing away at the other end. #NZvInd

Dinesh Karthik is clearly not a fan of Salman Khan. He doesn't believe in Hit and Run.#INDvNZ

*When you were the one who scored the least runs, still everyone is busy criticizing Dinesh Karthik for the loss!!#NZvIND pic.twitter.com/lCHjf68fw8

Please Don't blame anyone for this defeat!

The real villains are those stumps at non-striker's end who saved almost 10 runs for New Zealand!

And hat's off to @DineshKarthik sir! He did it again for India!

Played well champions 🇮🇳!

PS- Still Dhoni wasted 2 balls!#INDvsNZt20 pic.twitter.com/pI2BfE59lf
