In a spectacular showdown in Guyana, Team India secured their place in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 final with a decisive victory over the reigning champions, England. This victory was especially sweet for India, having previously suffered a 10-wicket defeat to England in the T20 World Cup 2022 semi-final in Adelaide. Under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, India triumphed over Jos Buttler’s team by 68 runs.

Rohit Sharma’s stellar performance

Rohit played a pivotal role in guiding India to the finals, where they are set to face South Africa on June 29. His exceptional performance in the Super 8 match against Australia laid a strong foundation, enabling India to top their group. With high expectations on his shoulders for the semi-final clash against England, Rohit rose to the occasion brilliantly.

At Providence Stadium, Rohit delivered a masterful performance in challenging conditions, dominating the English bowlers. While other Indian batters struggled, Rohit smashed a crucial half-century, showcasing his prowess. He scored 57 runs off 39 balls, helping India set a formidable target of 171/7.
