Even though Krunal Pandya and Dinesh Karthik were smashing the ball out of the park with ease and keeping India in the hunt, the blunder by Dinesh Karthik in the last over lost India the game and the series. The Twitterati couldn't stop criticizing Dinesh Karthik as this ended India's streak.
What an achievement by MSD!

Looks like Rohit Sharma is experimenting with his jerseys this series!
Wore Shankar's no.59 in Auckland, wearing Hardik Pandya's no.33 today... wondering what happened to Rohit Sharma's own T20I jerseys...

Shikhar Dhawan's form in a nutshell!
Shikhar Dhawan has this unique talent of playing a lofted shot and picking the only fielder outside the 30 yards circle.

Reality!
38 from 32 for Rohit Sharma when the team is chasing 200+ but nobody will Troll him because his name isn't Mahendra Singh Dhoni

When India had the chance to win the match, this happened!
Dinesh Karthik's decision to not run is inexcusable and inexplicable.

Dinesh Karthik wasted 2 deliveries even denied taking a single

Krunal Pandya was in such a great touch! Why DK Why?!
Dinesh Karthik thinks he was Dhoni. Okay absolutely fine. But he thought Krunal Pandya is Ashwin?????
— Sameer Allana (@HitmanCricket)
What was Dinesh Karthik thinking? Refusing a single in the last over, with Krunal Pandya blazing away at the other end.

The jokes that came out of this were hilarious!
Dinesh Karthik is clearly not a fan of Salman Khan. He doesn't believe in Hit and Run.

*When you were the one who scored the least runs, still everyone is busy criticizing Dinesh Karthik for the loss!!
— Thanos (@hypothanos)
Dhoni haters right now!
Please Don't blame anyone for this defeat!
— Shaktimaan Ravikiran (@The_SHAKTIMAAN)
The real villains are those stumps at non-striker's end who saved almost 10 runs for New Zealand!
And hat's off to sir! He did it again for India!
Played well champions 🇮🇳!
PS- Still Dhoni wasted 2 balls!
The Indian Women's and Men's cricket team can't stop coinciding!
