Until the start of this week, India had not played a single Super Over in T20Is. Five days into the week, India were forced into two tie-breakers and emerged victoriously in both – in Hamilton in the third T20I against New Zealand and on Friday in the fourth T20I in Wellington. Following the win, delighted skipper Virat Kohli gave his insight into his first-ever Super Over appearance.

Kohli revealed that India wanted to go with Sanju Samson and KL Rahul for the Super Over, but the latter convinced the skipper himself to appear given his experience. The pair chased down the required 14 with a ball to spare.
