works his way back into form, 89(61) – his 13th t20i fifty.. Had some good fortune. His 5 6s were thrilling, as usual!'s 47(30) was a smashing effort too..

Haters won't believe but Rohit was out of form for last few weeks because he was tensed about not being able to link his Aadhar card with bank account before 31st March.
