June 29, 2024: India’s cricket captain, Rohit Sharma, has rallied his team to maintain composure as they brace for a high-stakes clash against South Africa in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup final this Saturday. Following a dominant 68-run victory over England in the semi-finals, India is set to face off against the only other unbeaten team in the tournament at Kensington Oval, Barbados.
Expressing the importance of keeping a level head in the upcoming final, Rohit emphasized the need for his team to approach the game with the same calm mindset that has served them well throughout the tournament. “We’ve been very calm as a team,” Rohit remarked, reflecting on their semi-final triumph. “We do understand the occasion (in the final), but for us, it’s important to keep calm and composed.”
India, aiming to end their recent drought in ICC tournaments by clinching their second T20 World Cup title since 2007, credits their steady approach as the cornerstone of their success. Rohit, who led from the front with a crucial half-century in the semi-finals, highlighted the team’s ability to make sound decisions under pressure. “That helps us make good decisions. We need to make good decisions through the 40 overs,” Rohit Sharma added.
In the semi-final clash against England, India’s spinners played a pivotal role in defending their total of 171/7. Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel claimed three wickets each, supported by Ravindra Jadeja’s disciplined bowling. Rohit Sharma praised his spin trio, acknowledging their effectiveness in the crucial match. “They are gun spinners,” he affirmed. “When conditions are like that in front of them, it’s very difficult to play some shots.”
