Team India captain Rohit Sharma finally showed the style everyone was waiting for in the T20 World Cup 2024. In the Super-8 match against Australia, Rohit played an explosive innings and blew everyone away. The Indian captain presented a spectacle of explosive batting and scored 92 runs. On the strength of this innings of Rohit, Team India put up a big score of 205 runs in front of Australia.
Now if Australia is in front, even a big score is not safe, so missing any chance means inviting trouble. Rohit also knows this very well and that is why when Team India started bowling, something happened that the Indian captain got angry and abuses came out of his mouth.So what happened? Let us tell you about it later. First, know a little about the Indian innings. Team India batted first in this match and from the very first over, Rohit made such an explosion that blew Australia's senses. As soon as Rohit came, he rained sixes and fours and played an amazing innings of 92 runs in just 41 balls.
Apart from him, Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya also played fast-paced innings. Team India scored 205 runs after losing 5 wickets, which was its highest score in this World Cup.Then when it was time for bowling, Arshdeep Singh dismissed David Warner in the first over itself. In such a situation, Team India had a chance to put pressure on Australia and this opportunity came in the second over itself. Jasprit Bumrah's fourth ball was short pitch but Mitchell Marsh could not play the pull shot properly.
The ball hit the upper part of his bat and bounced on the leg side behind the wicket. This is where everyone thought that the wicket was taken but wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant could not reach the ball. He did not even dive for it and this is what Rohit did not like. From his position at mid-off, Rohit vented his anger on Pant and also abused him while scolding him.rohit sharma reaction on pant after catch drop

Its video also went viral. Now only Pant can tell how difficult this catch was for him, but Team India was seen paying the price for it when Marsh attacked and started collecting boundaries.
Marsh shared a great partnership of 81 runs with Travis Head. However, Akshar Patel ended Marsh's innings by taking an amazing catch on Kuldeep Yadav's ball, after which the Australian innings started faltering and the entire team could reach only 181 runs. Team India won this match by 24 runs and made it to the semi-finals.
