With his recent display of cricket against New Zealand Mohammed Shami was declared man-of-the-match. During the presentation Shami took skipper Kohli as his translator, but as it turns out he didn’t need Kohli’s help.

When former New Zealand fast bowler Simon Doull asked Shami about his game, Shami decided to talk in English and gave it a shot. “It’s really difficult to bowl against the wind. One comes with the wind and the other is against the wind. It is difficult but not too hard. Bhuvi at the other end was also a great help. Sticking to areas where we want to bowl is the key,” said Shami.

Simon Doull was so impressed with Shami’s effort that he complimented him in Hindi after the interview. “Your English bahut acha, congratulations,” Doull told Shami as Kohli started laughing.

India rode on another all-round show to thrash New Zealand by seven wickets in the third ODI at the Bay Oval and take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match rubber. This is India’s first ODI series win in New Zealand in a decade. The Men-in-Blue last achieved the feat under Mahendra Singh Dhoni in 2009.

Chasing a below-par 243, India lost opener Shikhar Dhawan after a breezy 28 off 27 balls, but fellow opener Rohit Sharma struck his 39th ODI fifty to lay the foundation in the company of the skipper Virat Kohli, who also got to his 49th ODI half century.

Barring that, New Zealand fans had hardly anything to cheer for as the tail also failed to wag as the innings eventually ended in the penultimate over. Both the sides will now move to Hamilton for the fourth match on Thursday.
