IND vs IRL T20 World Cup: Indian captain Rohit Sharma scored a brilliant half-century against Ireland in the T20 World Cup. Rohit's 52-run innings ended not because of being out but because of retiring hurt. Rohit looked quite upset and questioned the 'drop in' pitch of Nassau County Ground. India will face Pakistan on 9 June.
Rohit scored 52 runs in 37 balls
After bowling out Ireland for 96 runs in 16 overs, India achieved the target in 12.2 overs. Rohit scored 52 runs in 37 balls. During this, Rohit missed the pull shot on a short-pitch ball from Irish fast bowler Josh Little and the ball hit his upper arm. Then he had to leave the field.
Rohit Sharma said about the injury that it is a normal injury. I had also said at the time of toss that I do not know what the pitch will be like. He said, new ground, new place. We wanted to see what it would be like to play here. I think the pitch is still not frozen and the bowlers are getting a lot of help. In such a situation, it was important to stick to your basics and remember Test match bowling.
Hardik Pandya took three wickets
For India, Hardik Pandya took three wickets for 27 runs. Arshdeep Singh took two wickets for 35 runs. Jasprit Bumrah took two wickets for six runs in three overs. Mohammad Siraj and Akshar Patel got one wicket each.
Rohit Sharma said after the match that Arshdeep Jamodi is an expert in creating rhythm by swinging the ball in front of the batsmen. I don't think four spinners can be fielded on such a ground. If the conditions are favorable for the fast bowlers, they will play. Later in the tournament, the spinners will do their job. We will make changes according to the needs of the team.
Talking about the preparations for the match against Pakistan, Rohit said, I don't know what to expect from the pitch. We will prepare thinking that the pitch is going to remain the same. The whole team will have to perform well in this match. Hopefully, like today, the performance will be good in that match as well.
