Lucknow: The day Indian team captain Rohit Sharma's bat is in form, the bowlers of the opposition team are afraid to bowl against him. The most recent example of this is his 92-run innings played against Australia in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. In this match, he scored 29 runs in an over against the Kangaroo team's best bowler Mitchell Starc. By defeating Australia, India has qualified for the semi-finals and now they will face England in the knockout match on June 27.

The kind of innings played by the Indian captain before the match against England has worried the English team camp. In such a situation, if Rohit's bat works against England, he can prove to be very dangerous for the team and English all-rounder Moeen Ali also believes something similar. In fact, seeing such an innings of Rohit, the players of England have also come in fear. Ali has given a big statement before the semi-final match.
He said, “Rohit is one of the best batsmen in the world. Sometimes you just hope that he gets out himself in T20 cricket. It is also true in cricket that you cannot always score runs, especially in T20 cricket. No matter how well you are playing, there is no guarantee of always scoring runs in this format. However, he has other players as well.”
Ali further said that “India is a great team and they have covered everything well. So if we have to defeat them, we will have to give our best. Playing against them will be a huge challenge and I am really happy about it. Last time we faced them in Australia and it was a similar challenge. This will be a big challenge in the same way and we will have to play in the same way.”
