New Delhi. Rohit Sharma played a great game against England in the semi-final of the T20 World Cup. In this knockout match, Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant got out in quick succession, but the Hitman’s hitting continued. Navjot Singh Sidhu was thrilled to see Rohit’s game in this moment of pressure. Praising Rohit, he said that this captain of India is leading from the front. He is not afraid of anyone. He has come with a shroud tied on his head.
The semi-final match between India and England was played on Thursday night. England won the toss and bowled first. This decision of English captain Jos Buttler seemed right when Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant returned to the pavilion early. Virat Kohli was out after scoring 9 runs and Rishabh Pant was out after scoring 4 runs.
There was every possibility that India would come under pressure after the first two blows. But this did not happen. Rohit Sharma counter-attacked the English attack. He hit fours with reverse sweep and sweep on the ball of Adil Rashid, who is considered England’s trump card. Commentator Navjot Singh Siddhu said about Rohit’s game that this player is leading his team like a commander.
When India’s score was 65 runs for 2 wickets after 8 overs, the game was stopped due to rain. At that time Rohit Sharma was unbeaten after scoring 37 runs in 26 balls. Suryakumar Yadav was supporting him by scoring 13 runs in 7 balls.
Navjot Singh Sidhu said during the break that Rohit is playing with a new strategy this time. He goes after the commander. Rohit was after Starc against Australia too. This time Adil Rashid has been targeted under the same strategy. Rohit’s strategy has confused the opposing team. Due to this game of Rohit, the bowler who came to take the wicket starts saving himself. This is a very good strategy.
