New Delhi. Reaching the final of the ICC ODI World Cup, Team India showed a strong performance that doubled the excitement of every tournament. They won 9 league matches in a row to reach the finals and then did well in the semi-finals. Captain Rohit Sharma’s brilliant batting played a big role in the Indian team’s victory. Fans were expecting a big innings against Australia but it fell short. Rohit Sharma came to India to play his last World Cup match.
Before the ICC ODI World Cup final between India and Australia, everyone expected another explosive match. Fans who were hoping for Team India to score more than 300 runs were disappointed. Australian captain Pat Cummins won the toss and chose to bowl and took three wickets in quick succession. Not only Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer but also captain Rohit Sharma returned after being dismissed cheaply. India’s hopes of a big score suffered a setback due to a poor start.
Rohit Sharma missed the last World Cup
Indian team captain Rohit Sharma played the last World Cup match in India and his hopes of a big score were not fulfilled. Against Australia, he played an innings of 47 runs off 31 balls which included 4 fours and 3 sixes. This will be remembered as Rohit Sharma’s last innings for Team India in the World Cup. The 2027 World Cup is scheduled to be held in South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe. After this, India and Bangladesh are scheduled to host the ODI World Cup in 2031. Until then it is impossible for Rohit to play.
