Captain Rohit Sharma slammed his 32nd T20I fifty through a 39-ball 57, while Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel picked three wickets each as India stormed into the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup final after outclassing defending champions England by 68 runs in the second semifinal at the Providence Stadium.
On a tricky pitch with a slow pace and low bounce, Rohit adjusted well to mix risk-taking and caution to smash six fours and two sixes in his vital knock, while sharing a 73-run stand with Suryakumar Yadav, who slammed 47 off 36 balls.
