Indian cricket enthusiasts celebrated the crucial victory, which secured Rohit’s team a spot in the semi-finals. Rivaba, wife of Ravindra Jadeja, commemorated the win with a heartfelt post, expressing admiration for the Indian captain.
Rivaba, on X, shared what the win meant for her and all Indian fans. “Scores Settled. In the ongoing T20 Cricket World Cup, India has recorded a stunning victory against Australia. Congratulations to the team for this remarkable achievement! Rohit Sharma’s explosive innings will be remembered for ages.”
Rohit, named Player of the Match for his explosive knock, shared India’s approach for the upcoming semi-final against England during the post-match presentation.
“We don’t want to do anything different, play the same way, and understand what each person has to do. Play freely and not think too much on what’s lying ahead. Not think about the opposition. We have been doing it consistently, just need to continue. (On playing England in the semi) It will be a nice match, nothing changes for us as a team,” he said in the last 4 contests.
Rohit also praised India spinner Kuldeep Yadav, who has recently emerged as a standout performer for the team.
He said, “We know the strength he has, but we need to use him when necessary. In New York, there were seamer-friendly wickets. He had to miss out, but we knew he had a big role to play out here.”
The Indian cricket team achieved a form of redemption by defeating Australia in the T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 match. Many saw this victory for Rohit Sharma’s team as payback for their loss to Australia in the ODI World Cup final. The Super 8 result also pushed Australia to the brink of elimination.
Australia suffered their second consecutive defeat in the tournament, following a loss to Afghanistan in the Super 8s, while India clinched a 24-run win powered by Rohit’s 92.
