Babar Azam worked for Pakistan in the first semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2022. Something similar was expected from Rohit Sharma; India was also doing the tournament’s second semi-final against England.
There was hope when the match started, but it collapsed equally fast. The runs that Rohit scored were also made in such a way that neither suited his personality nor did the work of Team India appear to be easy.
Of course, Rohit did not run in this entire tournament. But today, when the team needed it the most, still, the eyes were fixed on them. Rohit Sharma disappointed the cricket fans here as well as he did throughout the tournament.
What Is The Use Of Scoring 27 Such Runs Rohit?
Rohit Sharma scored 27 runs in the semi-final against England. But, if he had scored these runs in 8 or 9 balls, then it would have been a matter. Rohit did not do this but faced 28 balls to score so many runs. That is, the strike rate in his innings was not even 100. Such was the condition of the Indian captain when 4 fours were seen in his innings.

Didn’t Score Runs; Gave Tension
It is clear that even by contributing 27 runs to the team’s scoreboard, Rohit did not make the task easier but more complex. When he got out, the team’s score was 56 runs. But the overs of the Indian innings were 8.5.
Meaning the start was not found as it should have been. On the contrary, Rohit’s batting with a strike rate of only 96 increased the problems of the incoming batsman Suryakumar Yadav.
