Guyana: From the outside, Rohit Sharma comes across as a tough character – not someone who will shed tears at the drop of a hat. But again, Rohit seemed to have got emotional after India beat England by 68 runs on Thursday in the T20 WC 2024 semi-final to seal a date with South Africa in the summit clash. Cameras captured Virat Kohli consoling Rohit, who was almost in tears. The clip of Kohli’s gesture has surfaced on social space and fans are loving the brotherhood between the two cricketing legends.

Following the 68-run win against England in Guyana on Thursday, Rohit Sharma was asked about Kohli’s form at the post-match presentation. Hailing Kohli as a quality player, Rohit said Kohli would fire in the final.
“He’s a quality player. Any player can go through that. We do understand his class and his importance in all these big games. Form is never a problem because when you’ve played cricket for 15 years, it isn’t a problem. He is looking good, the intent is there. He’s probably saving for the finals,” Rohit told Michael Atherton in the post-match interview.
Batting first, India rode on knocks from Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav to post 171/7 in 20 overs. In reply, England succumbed to the spin-twins of Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel as the duo shared six wickets between them. In the end, England were all out for 103 in 16.4 overs.
