The second semi-final match of the ICC T20 World Cup, 2022 is starting at 1:30 hrs IST between India and England at the Adelaide ground this afternoon. Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav have performed brilliantly in the matches played so far in this latest World Cup. Even today, there are hopes of a big and fiery innings from him.
Although SKY is considered to be the X-FACTOR of Team India regarding today’s match, former India player Mohammad Kaif believes that today’s X-FACTOR team captain Rohit Sharma proved can be. In his exclusive conversation with a sports news agency, he said that if Rohit Sharma’s bat manages to score runs in the semi-final against England, then victory will be easy for India.

Mohammad Kaif said, “So far this World Cup (T20 World Cup, 2022) has not been good for Rohit Sharma, but he is a big match player. He enjoys playing against England. If he performs against England (England vs India T20 World Cup Semifinal, 2022), it will not be a surprise for me. He has that X-FACTOR, whenever there is pressure, he plays match-winning innings.”
He further said, “I am Rohit Sharma. (Rohit Sharma) is a big player Santa, but the time has come when he comes forward and performs in the next two matches. This match (India vs England T20 World Cup Semifinal) is the biggest match for Rohit Sharma as captain. He has had a stellar record since assuming the responsibility as T20 captain. I think he has made an impact with his captaincy. The success he has brought under his captaincy is amazing. Now the time has come for him to try to win the team with the bat as well.
Significantly, in this latest World Cup tournament, the performance of Indian team captain Rohit Sharma has faded according to his personality. In the matches played so far, he has scored only 89 runs with his bat, which includes 4 runs against Pakistan, 53 runs against Netherlands, 15 runs against South Africa, 2 runs against Bangladesh and 15 runs against Zimbabwe.
It is expected that in today’s match, the batting of the Indian team will be bang and the edge of the bowling will cut the hard life of England’s batting.
