By India Today Web Desk: India captain Rohit Sharma’s feedback after their semi-final defeat to England at T20 World Cup 2022 didn’t go down effectively with followers because the skipper pointed fingers at India’s bowlers for a 10-wicket defeat on Thursday, November 11.
A piece of followers questioned Rohit Sharma’s dealing with of the post-match ceremony even because the India captain regarded distraught after India had been comprehensively in Adelaide.
Rohit Sharma mentioned India’s batting present was adequate however their bowling was not up to speed as England chased down 169 in simply 16 overs with out shedding a wicket. Jos Buttler and Alex Hales hit unbeaten 80s to deflate India’s hopes and arrange a remaining date with Pakistan in Melbourne on Sunday.
“It’s pretty disappointing how we turned up today. I thought we still batted pretty well at the back end to get to that score, but we were not good enough with the ball. It was definitely not a wicket where a team can come and chase it down in 16 overs. With the ball we didn’t turn up today,” Rohit mentioned on Thursday.
India’s bowling effort lacked venom however England showcased the distinction in intent between the 2 batting sides after plundering 63 within the powerplay whereas chasing 169. England race to 98 for 0 in 10 overs, crushing India’s hopes.
On the opposite hand, India huffed and puffed to 32 for 1 on the finish of the powerplay after Jos Buttler gained the sos and opted to bat.
In reality, it was Rohit Sharma who robed India of momentum within the batting powerplay because the skipper struggled to place bat to ball, Rohit hit 27 off 28 balls and received out within the ninth over.

Rohit Sharma confirmed how terrible chief he’s. He put all of the blame on bowlers and no point out of our batters who performed as Timid as it might probably get.#INDvENG #T20WorldCup

Very unusual Rohit Sharma interview, pinning India defeat solely on the bowlers.
Given how rapidly Hales and Buttler scored with out taking loopy dangers, certainly India’s batting was the true challenge.

I’m sorry however Rohit Sharma blaming the bowlers and saying “they didn’t handle the pressure” is totally off the mark. The sport was misplaced in India’s batting powerplay – the “short square boundaries” had been lacking when India batted. 168 was by no means going to be sufficient.

Ah! effectively, Rohit. Would have been sturdy management if the skipper owned up some accountability. “I thought we still batted pretty well at the back end to get to that score, but we were not good enough with the ball.”

Lol at Rohit saying that bowlers didn’t present up.
Awful submit match presentation to go together with the efficiency.

India posted 168 on batting pitch, due to a fifty from Virat Kohli and a shocking 33-ball 63 as he offered the late cost that India wanted.
However, the overall was not sufficient as England made full use of the powerplay and put stress on India from which they had been by no means in a position to get better.
