Rohit’s impact and performance in the T20 World Cup 2024

Rohit registered the second-highest score by an Indian batter in T20 World Cups with his 92 off 41 balls against Australia. This innings was crucial for India, setting up a 24-run victory that secured their place in the semi-finals. Rohit had a strong start to his T20 World Cup campaign with a half-century against Ireland, but then experienced a dry patch with lower scores in subsequent games. His resurgence against Australia came at a crucial time, especially with his opening partner Virat Kohli struggling for runs. Rohit’s ability to dispatch even the good balls for boundaries showcased his fluent best.
