The Indian skipper Rohit Sharma who took retirement from the T20 format after winning the T20 World Cup 2024 had a great tournament as he was in great form and in the match against Australia, he was at his sublime best.
In the match against Australia, Rohit Sharma scored 92 runs of 41 deliveries and helped his team in putting up the total of 205/5 on the scoreboard. India won that match by 24 runs and in one of Mitchell Starc’s over, 29 runs were scored and out of this, 28 runs came from the bat of Rohit Sharma.
Recently Mitchell Starc opened up on that match and that one over in which Rohit Sharma lambasted him for 28 runs, he said in a podcast, “I’ve played a lot against him (Rohit). He had a good tournament, especially in our game. I think he targeted that wind in St. Lucia as well. If you look at the runs from each end, one end went for a lot more than the other. I bowled from that end. I bowled five bad balls and he hit them all for six.”
Mitchell Starc further said, “We thought it (total) was a little bit over par, but it was the best wicket in the World Cup which we played on in terms of runs scored. It wasn’t probably the quickest wicket in the West Indies but definitely the best wicket which we played on. Certainly chaseable. We were on target for a while but a couple of hiccups and some good bowling from them set us back.”
That was certainly a great match, what do you say?
