The Nassau County pitch threw its fair share of difficulties at batters during Match 8 of the T20 World Cup 2024 between India and Ireland. Yet, amidst the struggle, Rohit Sharma, the Indian skipper, rose to the occasion with a sensational knock. His innings wasn’t just about brute force, but a masterclass in adapting to tricky conditions.
Despite losing his partner Virat Kohli early on, Rohit did the best thing to guard his wicket and played according to the situation. He understood the need of the hour and played a measured innings, anchoring the Indian chase on a difficult surface. He made up his fifty in 36 balls before a knock to his elbow ended his inning prematurely.
