T20 World Cup 2024: Pakistan won the toss against Team India and bowled first, giving India an early blow, but after Rishabh Pant's innings, the team was pulled out of the difficult situation, after which India won on the basis of the excellent performance of the bowlers. Pakistan was defeated by six runs in a rain-affected low-scoring match in Group A of the ICC T20 World Cup. Chasing the target of 120 runs, India could only score 113 runs for seven wickets in front of the strong bowling of Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya.
Rohit Sharma's statement on thrilling win against Pakistan
We didn't bat well. We were in a good position till half of our innings. We didn't get the necessary partnerships there and we fell behind in batting. We talked about the importance of every run on this type of pitch. There was a lot more to the pitch. Honestly, it was a better wicket than the last game. With this kind of bowling lineup, you feel confident working.
When he was batting, we all got together and said if this can happen to us, it can happen to him too. A little contribution from everyone can go a long way. Bumrah is getting stronger and stronger. We all know what he can do. Let's not talk too much about it. We want him to play with this mindset throughout the World Cup. He is a talented player, we all know that. The crowd was great. Wherever we play, he never disappoints. I am sure he will come home laughing a lot. This is just the beginning, we have a long journey ahead.
