Mohammed Shami sizzled with a five-wicket haul in his first game of the World Cup and his captain Rohit Sharma was all praise of him for grabbing the opportunity with both hands in India's four-wicket win over New Zealand here on Sunday. After Shami (5/54) led the Indian bowling attack to bowl New Zealand out for 273, chasemaster Virat Kohli struck a magnificent 95 to help his side chase down the target with 12 balls to spare. "Shami took the opportunity with both hands. He's got class and so much experience and he used the conditions really well," Rohit said at the post-match presentation. "At one stage NZ put up a big partnership there. Dew came in as well. But we have to give credits to the bowlers in the back end. Good start to the tournament but job is half done."
