Here's what Rohit Sharma after winning 5th ODI

Rohit Sharma: Especially after the Hamilton loss, that was a big loss for us the way we lost there. At the toss I said we needed to come together as a team and we did that. Four down, we needed someone to apply, and Rayudu and Vijay Shankar did that. The way Hardik and Kedar played was magnificent. We showed a lot of character. With the ball as well.

Kedar Jadhav [5.0-0-25-1] is back into the attack and Santner takes a single off the first ball and Dhoni runs Neesham OUT. Presence of mind from MSD and he's run-out.Firstly this was a huge appeal for LBW, umpire Shaun George shook his head, looked like an inside edge onto thigh pad or even if it didn't take the edge impact was outside off stump. Dhoni was busy appealing, so the ball hit his left leg and rolled back, Neesham was wandering out of the crease for some reason, probably more keen on looking at the umpire than realising he was outside the crease, Dhoni runs back and fires a direct-hit to send back the danger man. Neesham looked like finishing this in 7-8 overs. Neesham run out (Dhoni) 44(32) [4s-4 6s-2]
