The Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has proved to be a great skipper as under his captaincy, India has reached the finals of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 and now they will be facing South Africa on 29 June at Kensington Oval, Barbados.
Yesterday India defeated England by 68 runs in the second semi-final of the tournament which was played at Guyana National Stadium and it won’t be wrong to say that India took the revenge of the T20 World Cup 2022 in which England defeated India in the semi-finals.
After defeating England, the Indian skipper Rohit Sharma was seen sitting outside the dressing room and he looked quite emotional. When Virat Kohli approached him for congratulating, Rohit started crying. These images took fans back to the time when Rohit Sharma cried after losing to England in 2022 and again after losing to Australia in the final of the ODI World Cup 2023 but now everyone wants him to win the T20 World Cup 2024 and end India’s ICC drought.
Rohit Sharma played a brilliant knock of 57 runs and helped his team in posting the total of 171/7 on the scoreboard. In response, England could score only 103 runs in 16.4 overs as the Indian bowlers, especially spinners wreaked havoc and took wickets at regular intervals.
During the post match presentation, Rohit Sharma praised his team and said that their unity and combine efforts helped them in succeeding. He said, “It’s very satisfying to win this game. We’ve worked really hard as a unit to come through this stage, and to win this game like that was a great effort from everybody. Our unity and collective effort were the key to our success.”
Rohit further added, “I thought we adapted to the conditions well. The conditions were a little challenging. We had to adapt, and that’s been the success story for us so far. Until this game, we have adapted to the conditions well. We’ve played the conditions well. And then the bowlers and the batters, if they understand the conditions and play according to them, things fall into place, and that’s exactly what happened for us today. Very pleasing to see how we came through this game.”
