The match, held at the Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, Saint Lucia, saw Sharma take Starc to the cleaners, smashing 29 runs off a single over.

Sharma’s onslaught began in the third over of the match when he faced Starc. The first ball was launched over cover for a six, followed by another six over the same area. The third ball was slammed down the ground for four, and the fourth was heaved over midwicket for another six. After a wide and a dot ball, Sharma ended the over with a top-edged six over third man.

Mitchell Starc Responds to Rohit Sharma Assault in T20 World Cup

Starc, who was playing his first match of the tournament after being dropped for the previous game against Afghanistan, was left shell-shocked by Sharma’s assault. “I bowled five bad balls and he hit them all for six,” Starc later admitted in an interview.

Sharma’s innings was a crucial one for India, as it helped them post a mammoth total of 205/5 in their 20 overs. The knock was the third highest individual score of the tournament and included seven fours and eight sixes.

Despite Starc eventually getting the last laugh by dismissing Sharma for 92, the damage had already been done. India went on to win the match by 24 runs, effectively knocking Australia out of the tournament.

A Bitter Pill to Swallow

The defeat was a bitter pill to swallow for Australia, who had been the reigning ODI World Champions. However, it was a sweet revenge for India, who had lost to England in the semi-finals of the previous T20 World Cup.

With his form on a downward trend and questions arising about his place in the team, fans and critics alike are divided over his potential impact in the upcoming international tournament.

Rohit Sharma, the former skipper of the Mumbai Indians and a key player in the Indian cricket team, has been experiencing a rough patch in his form during the ongoing IPL season. With scores of 6, 8, 4, 11, and 4 runs in his last five innings, Rohit’s performance has raised concerns about his form and fitness ahead of the T20 World Cup. These worries have been compounded by his failure to cross the 500-run landmark in an IPL season since 2013, despite being one of the top-four run-scorers in IPL history.

Dipping Form Of Rohit Sharma, A Concern For Many

Despite these concerns, there are voices that argue in favour of Rohit’s inclusion in the T20 World Cup squad, citing his experience and past achievements. Some fans and experts believe that Rohit’s ability to lead and perform under pressure in international matches should not be discounted based on his recent IPL form. As one Twitter user said, “You will see a different Rohit Sharma in T20 World Cup. Rohit Sharma is a legend, and he knows how to perform well in international matches.”

The debate has also extended to whether IPL performances should impact a player’s selection or non-selection in the T20 World Cup squad. Rohit himself has addressed this issue, stating that “IPL performances impact a player’s selection or non-selection in T20 World Cup squad.” This suggests that despite his recent struggles, Rohit remains confident in his ability to contribute to the team’s success in the international arena.
As the T20 World Cup approaches, the question of Rohit Sharma’s form and its potential impact on the Indian cricket team’s performance remains a hot topic among fans and experts alike. While some argue that his recent IPL performances are cause for concern, others believe that his experience and past achievements should not be overlooked. Ultimately, only time will tell if Rohit can overcome his current slump and lead the Indian cricket team to victory in the T20 World Cup.
