From suffering a crushing 10-wicket defeat to dismantling England by taking all 10 of their wickets, Rohit and the Indian team advanced to the T20 World Cup final.
Rohit Sharma’s emotional breakdown in the dugout after their T20 World Cup final hopes were dashed two years ago left a lasting impression. However, revenge was finally achieved as India crushed England by 68 runs, securing their spot in the World Cup final for the second time in seven months.
While this victory calls for celebration, Rohit and his team await a greater challenge—the final, just two days away. Aware of the seriousness of the occasion, Rohit maintained a stoic demeanor even as the rest of the team revealed in their triumph. After India bowled out England for 103 in their chase of 172, and the handshakes and pleasantries were exchanged, Rohit quietly retreated to the balcony of the dressing room, lost in thought. Virat Kohli, Rohit’s long-time comrade, tried to lift his captain’s spirits, hoping for a smile. Still, Rohit remained focused, his mind already on the upcoming final against South Africa on Saturday.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, India’s most prolific batters, are opening the innings for India in this T20 World Cup. The Indian skipper has been leading by example, though Kohli has struggled to find form in the tournament so far. Despite this, Rohit has shown unwavering trust in Kohli, expressing confidence that his runs will come when it matters most in the final.
Under Rohit’s leadership, India has lost just two World Cup/Championship games out of their last 18. During this period, Rohit has set a standard for the team, transforming India’s approach to T20 cricket.
Now, India is set to face South Africa in the T20 World Cup final on June 29, 2024, in Barbados.
