Sharma's Team India was playing against Jos Buttler-led England in the second
semifinal of the ICC men’s T20 World Cup 2022 at the Adelaide Oval on Thursday
(November 10).
The
match started with Jos Buttler winning the toss and England opting to bowl
first.
Rohit
Sharma acknowledged his dissatisfaction with the team's performance on the day
in a post-game interview. He said that managing pressure in knockout games is
the key, and he also mentioned that the players in the Indian Premier League
have a lot of experience playing in those conditions (IPL).
"Pretty
disappointed how it turned out today. We batted well at the back end to get
that score. We were not upto the mark with the ball, we couldn't turn up today.
It's all about handling the pressure in knockout games. All these guys have
played enough to understand that. These guys have played under pressure in IPL
games, it's all about keeping calm."
He
further praised the England openers for their outstanding effort in the
semifinal game and said:
"We
were nervy to start with, but you got to give credit to their openers, they
played really well. I thought it swung a bit in the first over, but not from
the right areas. We know the runs are scored square of the wicket, we were
aware about it. When we won the first game, it showed a lot of character. The
game against Bangladesh, it was a tricky one. I thought we held our nerve and
kept executing our plans. Couldn't do that today," Rohit said in the
post-match presentation.
England
will face off Pakistan at the finals of T20 World Cup on November 13, 2022
(Sunday) from 1:30 pm.
