Rohit Sharma revealed that there was a “threat” prior to the match against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2024, which limited the team to leave their hotel.
Who could forget the exciting India versus Pakistan during the T20 World Cup 2024 in New York? The team led by Rohit Sharma succeeded in defending a modest total of 119 in Nassau County, and triumphed their old rivals with a slender margin of six runs. While the one-year anniversary of their T20 World Cup victory is approaching in just a few days, Rohit Sharma recalled the match against Pakistan and revealed that a “threat” threatened before the game.
Rohit Sharma also said that his team was limited to leave their hotel rooms because of this threat. He discussed how the players ordered food, while the hotel was filled with fans from both India and Pakistan, making it a challenge to navigate through the building.
During the match against Pakistan, India lagged most of the game behind. Nevertheless, Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh orchestrated a remarkable comeback for India.
“Before the India vs Pakistan match we were told that there was a threat – there was something wrong. So two days before the game we were not allowed to get out of the hotel. The atmosphere started to build from there,” said Rohit at Jiohotstar.
“We ordered food in, and the hotel was so full that you could hardly walk. Fans, media – everyone was there. That is when you realize that this is not just another competition – something special will happen. As soon as we came close to the stadium, it already felt like a party – Indian fans, Pakistani fans, all dancing and enjoying himself,” he added.
In the game versus Pakistan, India first hit and was fired for 119 points in 19 overs. Wicketkeeper-Batter Rishabh Pant, which came in at number 3, was the highest score with 42 points of 31 balls.
Speaking of Pant’s knock, Rohit said: “We just wanted Rishabh Rishabh – do all the things he does best, the bowlers unleashes. And he did that perfectly. His innings was about 42, and on that field that is almost scoring of 70.”
