In the T20 World Cup semifinal against England on Thursday, June 27, Rohit Sharma delivered yet another outstanding performance with the bat. The India captain scored a brilliant 57 runs off just 39 balls, setting a strong foundation for the team after being put in to bat by the England skipper.
Early wickets and Rohit’s resilience
India faced early setbacks with the quick dismissals of Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant. Kohli, struggling with form, managed only 9 runs before being bowled by Reece Topley. Pant also fell cheaply, putting pressure on the team. However, Rohit Sharma rose to the occasion, steering the innings with his aggressive and fluent batting.
A captain’s knock
Rohit took the attack to the English bowlers, maintaining a high scoring rate and ensuring India stayed competitive. His 57-run knock was not only crucial in the context of the match but also significant as he became the first Indian captain to score a half-century in T20 World Cup knockout stages. His dismissal came after an impressive display, but he had already set the stage for a strong Indian performance.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma on Thursday became only the fifth Indian captain to score 5000 international runs while leading the side across formats. Rohit, who already has over 19,000 runs to his name across the three formats, has now scored 5013 runs from 122 matches he’s led India in. He crossed the milestone while batting against England in the 2024 T20 World Cup semifinal.
Fan reactions
Rohit Sharma’s fantastic batting performance earned him praise from fans and cricket enthusiasts. His ability to lead from the front and deliver under pressure highlighted his importance to the team and his exceptional form in the tournament.
