India avenged its defeat against Australia in ODI World Cup, know the three big reasons for its victory

T20 World Cup 2024: After losing to Australia first in the final of the World Test Championship and then in the final of the ODI World Cup last year, the Indian team finally fed Australia a bitter pill. In the T20 World Cup 2024, they defeated the Kangaroos in their last match of the Super-8 and confirmed their place in the semi-finals, where they will face England. Now if Afghanistan defeats Bangladesh today or the match gets cancelled, Australia will be out of the tournament.

1. Rohit Sharma's 92 runs

The architect of India's spectacular victory on Monday night was its captain Rohit Sharma, who laid the foundation of a big score by playing a stormy innings of 92 runs in just 41 balls. Rohit scored the fastest half-century of this World Cup in just 19 balls. Now he has become the Indian captain to score the fastest half-century in the history of T20 World Cup. Rohit Sharma created a world record by completing a double century in his T20 career and also became the batsman to score the most runs (4165) in T20I.

2. Strong captaincy and bowling chase

Rohit Sharma dominated the entire match. Rohit Sharma's captaincy impressed. He never let the pressure overwhelm him. His decisions were also excellent. He was constantly changing the field. For India, Arshdeep Singh (3/37) and spinner Kuldeep Yadav (2/24) took wickets at crucial moments and kept India in the match. Bumrah also bowled brilliantly.

3. Exit at the right time

Opener Travis Head, who dashed India's hopes with his innings in the last ODI World Cup final, once again settled at the crease and batted explosively. He scored 76 runs in 43 balls with the help of 9 fours and 4 sixes. He was scoring runs fast, but in the 17th over, captain Rohit Sharma put his biggest match-winner Jaspreet Bumrah on the attack for the second time and he went ahead to give relief to India. When he was out on a total score of 150, the match was in India's control. After Head's departure, the pace of the innings slowed down and the Australian team could only reach a score of 181/7.
