Rohit did not make a mistake by choosing to bat, T20 WC finals record is quite scary

New Delhi. In the final match of T20 World Cup 2024 being played between India and South Africa in Barbados, captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bat first. This is considered the right decision considering the pitch. Because the pitch will get slower as the match progresses. In such conditions, India’s spinners can prove deadly against South Africa on this pitch. If we look at the history of T20 World Cup 2024 finals, how fitting for Rohit Sharma to win the toss. Let us tell you about it.

Since 2010, whichever team wins the toss in the T20 World Cup final has also won the match. If seen from this point of view, everything seems in favor of captain Rohit Sharma, but it is not. There is another side of the coin, which goes in favor of South Africa and not India. If we look at the last four T20 World Cups, it is clear that only the team chasing runs has won the match and won the title.

In the final of the 2014 T20 World Cup, Sri Lanka defeated India during the run chase. West Indies then repeated it during the 2016 T20 World Cup. West Indies chased down the score and beat England to win the title. After this, in the final of T20 World Cup 2021, New Zealand team batted first against Australia and lost the match. The last T20 World Cup was played in the year 2022. Where England defeated Pakistan during the run chase.
