India skipper <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/cricket/article/rohit-sharma-it-was-an-exceptional-innings-23247709" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Rohit Sharma</a> understands the criticism about his underwhelming numbers in crunch games, but would not appreciate if he or any other player is defined by failure in an odd high-stakes game.
Rohit has struggled to make a substantial contribution in India&rsquo;s total while competing in knockout games at the ICC events over the years.&nbsp;
He managed just 29 against Sri Lanka in the 2014 World T20 final and a mere 34 against Australia in the 2015 ODI World Cup semi-final.
He scored 43 against the West Indies in the 2016 <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/cricket/article/t20-world-cup-2022-heres-the-tournament-schedule-leading-up-to-the-final-23252516" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">T20 World Cup</a> semi-final and could not even open his account against Pakistan in 2017 Champions Trophy title clash.&nbsp;
In the 2019 ODI World Cup semi-final against New Zealand, Rohit&rsquo;s contribution was just 1.
Asked if such below par performance in important matches bothers him, Rohit was not amused.

&ldquo;Not just me, but all the players, what they&rsquo;ve done in their entire career, one knockout game doesn&rsquo;t define them,&rdquo; Rohit said he gears up to lead India in T20 World Cup semi-final against England.&nbsp;
