Then Adil Rashid, who came to bowl, showed a dangerous looking Rohit Sharma the way to the pavilion. After some time, Sky was also caught out by Jofra Archer. In such a situation, Chris Jordan came in and first made Hardik Pandya (23) his victim and gave India a big blow by catching Shivam Dubey on his second ball.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma played a captaincy innings of 57 runs in the second semi-final match of the T20 World Cup!! Based on which India has set a target of 172 runs against the England team.

However, Suryakumar Yadav (47), who came on the field, first started playing smartly and later started hitting boundaries. In such a situation, captain Rohit Sharma (57) supported him fully and started hitting fours and sixes continuously.
