Team India skipper Virat Kohli had to sit out for the last four overs of England's innings in the fourth T20I because of injury. His deputy Rohit Sharma was the captain in his absence for the rest of the match.

After India won the do-or-die match by 8 runs, Rohit was praised for his captaincy in the last four overs. Although the stand-in captain didn't have to worry much about the bowling changes as it was very obvious with the available options, his small chats with bowlers grabbed the attention of Twitterati.

Even India pacer Shardul Thakur revealed Rohit had given him license to back his plans and execute them as he wants in the final over. England needed 23 runs in the last over, and 11 runs were scored off the first three deliveries. It put Thakur under pressure but in the end, he succeeded in getting away without any more boundaries.

Twitterati joked that Rohit's presence as captain was enough to change the match. England lost two consecutive wickets as soon as he took over the captaincy. Thakur had dismissed Ben Stokes and Eoin Morgan in consecutive deliveries which turned the game in India's favor.
