Rohit Sharma expressed his unwavering confidence in Virat Kohli, despite Kohli's underwhelming performance in the ongoing T20 World Cup. Sharma emphasised that Kohli's skill and experience will shine through when it matters most, especially in the final. Kohli has struggled, scoring only 75 runs in seven matches, including a disappointing nine in the semi-final against England, where he was dismissed by Reece Topley.
Sharma defended Kohli, stating, "He is a top-quality player. Every player goes through a rough patch. He has been playing for 15 years, so I believe he is saving his best for the final." While Kohli has not been at his peak, Sharma has been in exceptional form throughout the tournament, consistently scoring even on difficult pitches. In the semi-final against England, Sharma scored a half-century before getting out to Adil Rashid.
India's bowlers, including Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav, delivered a superb performance to bowl out England for 103, securing their spot in the final. India will now face South Africa in the final at Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados. Both teams are unbeaten in the tournament, setting the stage for an exciting showdown.
