I wanted to come back with the same tempo and carry on playing shots wherever it is necessary. I wanted to try and put the bowlers under pressure, let them think where to bowl and what to do when you're set like that,” said Rohit after the match.Besides Rohit’s batting carnage, Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, and Hardik Pandya chipped in with 31, 28, and 27 not out respectively to take India to a fabulous total of 205/5, where 15 sixes were hit – the most maximums hit by them in a T20 World Cup game.In response, with Kuldeep Yadav taking 2-24, including dismissing Glenn Maxwell, followed by Arshdeep Singh picking 3-37, India restricted Australia to 181/7 in the 20 overs, signing off from the Super Eight stage by maintaining their unbeaten record.India’s next game is against defending champions England in the second semifinal in Guyana on June 27, with the winner progressing to the final in Barbados, scheduled on June 29.(This story was taken from a syndicated feed, and edited only for style by Gujarat Samachar Digital staff)Also read:<a href="https://english.gujaratsamachar.com/news/sports/t20-world-cup-india-into-semis-with-24-run-win-over-australia" target="_blank">T20 World Cup: India into semis with 24-run win over Australia</a>
