IND vs ENG: Set batters Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav depart in span of 3 overs, fans react

After losing two early wickets, Team India found stability with skipper Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav, who forged a 50-run partnership in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 semi-final clash against England at Providence Stadium in Guyana. While both looked dangerous and attacked the English bowlers, the Three Lions managed to dismiss both batsmen within a span of 3 overs.

First, Indian captain Rohit Sharma was bowled by Adil Rashid for 57 off 39 balls, followed by Suryakumar Yadav, sent back by Jofra Archer for 47 off 36. The dismissals of these two set batsmen sparked discussions among netizens on X (formerly known as Twitter). While many praised the cricketers, some questioned the reason behind their reckless shots.

After 19 overs, India has managed to score 159 runs, losing 6 wickets in the process. Virat Kohli (9 off 9), Rishabh Pant (4 off 6), Rohit Sharma, SKY, and most recently Hardik Pandya (23 off 13) and Shivam Dube for a duck, were the batsmen dismissed. Currently, Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel are at the crease, and fans are hoping the team can push the score past the 160-run mark.

Chris Jordan has taken two wickets for England, while Reece Topley, Jofra Archer, Sam Curran, and Adil Rashid have claimed one wicket each.

Earlier, England won the toss and chose to field, with both teams remaining unchanged. Notably, all five of India's defeats in ICC tournaments since 2021 have occurred while batting first.
