“They Need Eoin Morgan Type Of Character”: England Great On India’s Approach In T20Is | Cricket News

[ad_1] The Indian cricket team's unceremonious exit from the T20 World Cup has raised some big questions over their approach to T20 cricket.

Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul Play “Old-fashioned Way”: Ex England Captain Nasser Hussain Ahead Of T20 World Cup Semi-final vs India | Cricket News

[ad_1] Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul© AFPFor a cricket powerhouse like India, an ICC trophy has been eluding them since 2013. The last time India won an ICC event - the 2013 Champions Trophy - MS Dhoni was still the captain. Now, Rohit Sharma is leading the team. After four wins in the five matches, India finished on top of Group 2 to qualify for the semi-final, where they face England on Thursday. However, Rohit Sharma hasn't quite performed according to expectation. Barring a half-century against Netherlands, he failed to strike big against Pakistan (4), South Africa (15), Bangladesh (2) and Zimbabwe (15). Rohit's fellow opener KL Rahul is in better form with two half-centuries so far, but he too failed to go big in the first three games.Former England captain Nasser Hussain has said that ...

[ad_1] India and Pakistan played out a game for the ages on Sunday in the ongoing T20 World Cup, and in a last-ball thriller, it was Rohit Sharma and co that walked away with a four-wicket win, owing to a batting masterclass by Virat Kohli.
