In the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024, Indian cricket stalwart Virat Kohli has been enduring a challenging phase, managing to accumulate just 75 runs across 7 innings in this edition of the prestigious tournament. His struggle with form was particularly evident in the semi-final match against England, where he could only muster 9 runs off 9 balls before being dismissed by Reece Topley in the third over of India's innings. Despite Kohli's recent lean patch, captain Rohit Sharma stood firmly behind his teammate, reaffirming Kohli's stature as a top-quality player and stressing that the team fully backs him to rediscover his best form.

India's journey to the T20 World Cup final was marked by a dominant performance against England at Providence Stadium, Guyana. Led by Rohit Sharma's composed leadership, India posted a competitive total of 171 runs for the loss of 7 wickets after being put into bat. Rohit Sharma played a pivotal role, scoring 57 runs off 39 deliveries, while Suryakumar Yadav contributed 47 runs off 36 balls. Their partnership of 73 runs played a crucial role in stabilizing India's innings after an early setback where they were 40 for 2 in 5.2 overs.

In the second innings, India's bowlers delivered an exceptional performance to defend their total. Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav led the charge with impressive bowling figures, each claiming 3 wickets. Axar Patel finished with figures of 3 for 23, while Kuldeep Yadav picked up 3 for 19, dismantling England's batting line-up and restricting them to 103 all out.

Reflecting on the team's journey to the final, Rohit Sharma emphasized the importance of maintaining composure in high-pressure situations. He highlighted the team's collective calmness and ability to make informed decisions as crucial factors in their success. Looking ahead to the final against South Africa, who secured their spot with a comprehensive 9-wicket victory over Afghanistan in the first semi-final, Rohit Sharma expressed confidence in India's ability to deliver a strong performance and clinch the T20 World Cup title, which has eluded them for over a decade.

As the excitement builds towards the final showdown, Rohit Sharma and his team are focused on playing disciplined and quality cricket to bring glory to the nation and add another milestone to India's cricketing legacy.
