But outstanding innings by Rohit Sharma..
3 hundred in T20 is something else .
Akhtar's tweet didn't go well with some of the Pakistan fans as they started trolling the former Pakistan cricketer.

Put in to bat by captain Virat Kohli, England posted 198 for 9. For India, Hardik Pandya returned career-best figures of 4/38.
In reply, riding on Rohit's brilliance, India made 201/3 in 18.4 overs. Pandya also played an unbeaten 14-ball 33-run cameo. This was India's sixth successive T20I series win.
