Rohit Sharma told the best innings of his T20 career, an innings in which he hit sixes off the bowlers

India won the T-20 World Cup title under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma.

Former Indian captain Rohit Sharma, who has retired from T20 international cricket, recently mentioned his favorite T20 innings. Rohit has scored a total of 8 T20 centuries in his career, including IPL, but none of these innings is the best in his eyes. He described his 92-run innings against Australia in the T20 World Cup 2024 as his best innings ever.

In this match, the “Hitman” thrashed the Australian bowlers, especially Mitchell Starc, in his aggressive style. Thanks to his innings, India scored 205 runs, in response to which Australia was bowled out for 181 runs.

Rohit’s revelation on Star Sports

Rohit said on Star Sports, “My best T20 innings is the 92-run innings played against Australia in the 2024 T20 World Cup.” He further said, “When I came out to bat in that match, there was only one thing in my mind that I have to score runs at all costs. I wanted to attack the Australian bowlers and perform well against them.”

Revenge for 2023 World Cup defeat

Referring to the defeat against Australia in the 2023 ODI World Cup final, Rohit said, “On November 19, Australia broke the heart of the whole country by defeating us in the ODI World Cup final. So we thought that we have to give them a befitting reply in the T20 World Cup. There were talks in the dressing room that if we win this match, Australia will be out of the tournament.”

India’s T20 World Cup title

India defeated South Africa in the 2024 T20 World Cup to win the title. This victory ended an 11-year ICC trophy drought. This was India’s first T20 World Cup title since 2007, in which Rohit Sharma’s captaincy and his aggressive batting played an important role.
