The second semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2024 is going to be held in Guyana. This match will decide who will play the semi-final between India and England. But, before this match starts, questions are being raised on the intention of the ICC.

The intention of the highest cricket body is in the dock. People have raised questions on the ICC, accusing it of favoring Team India before the semi-final with England. Although there was no direct response from the ICC on this, but Indian captain Rohit Sharma has now given a befitting reply to those who said that Team India was favored.

Rohit Sharma answered the people who were questioning the intentions of ICC in the press conference before the semi-final against England. We will definitely come to the befitting reply given by Rohit. But before that, let us talk about those people who have tried to target ICC on social media.

Such people include legendary cricketers like Michael Vaughan and David Lloyd.

Michael Vaughan accused of favouring Team India

Michael Vaughan has written not one but many things about this on his x handle. He directly said that this entire tournament seems to be tilted towards Team India. After this, when he saw the condition of the ground in Guyana, he raised questions about it as well. Actually, he seemed angry because the ground was not covered properly. Apart from Michael Vaughan, David Lloyd has also put the tag of favouritism on ICC.

Surely this Semi should have been the Guyana one .. but because the whole event is geared towards India its so unfair on others .. #T20IWorldCup

When we are talking about ICC favouring Team India, how can Pakistan stay behind? Pakistani cricket fans were seen attacking ICC on social media for its intention to favour Team India.

Michael Vaughan has more guts than most former players.

He is right, this World Cup has favoured BCCI & India big time. If it rains in Guyana, India will reach the final without even playing the semifinal #T20WorldCup @MichaelVaughan https://t.co/aKMOxcQxJy

Questions were also raised on the venue of India's semi-final match

Questions were also raised about the fact that Team India already knew that whether it finished first or second in the Super-8 group, it would have to play its semi-final in Guyana. The pitch in Guyana helps spinners, which was said to be the main reason behind making this ground the venue for the semi-final for Team India.

Rohit's answer

However, now Rohit Sharma has broken his silence on all these issues. He said that it is not that the Indian team is in advantage. England players have played in Guyana before. In such a situation, there is no point in it being beneficial only for India. In the end, you win only when you play good cricket. That is my only focus.
