This decision of Rohit Sharma was very smart: Zaheer Khan

Speaking on GeoCinema, Zaheer Khan said, ‘I believe it was a very smart and brave decision because you do not have so much time in these circumstances. You have to believe in your thinking. Whoever took the decision to bowl to Ravi Bishnoi should be highly praised.

The second super over started very well for the Indian team as a six was hit on the very first ball. After that Afghanistan made a very good comeback. Not only this, the Indian team could not even play the full 6 balls of the Super Over. After this the decision had to be taken as to who would bowl. The decision to give bowling to Ravi Bishnoi was right because the batsman easily scores 12 runs against the bowler. This is also because bowlers definitely make mistakes due to pressure.
