India vs Netherlands, T20 World Cup: India skipper Rohit Sharma was in hitman mode against Netherlands as he scored 53 runs of 39 to put his team in the driving seat. An in-form Sharma also became the highest six-hitter from India in T20 World Cups in the process. Sharma scored three massive 6s and four 4s with a strike rate above 135.
India lost KL Rahul early in the innings in an lbw dismissal that may have been overturned if it had been reviewed. However, Rahul decided to walk after consultation with his skipper. Replays showed him not out.
Sharma then steadied the innings with Virat Kohli, playing a blend of his attacking ‘high-risk’ style and the anchoring approach. ICC posted video reels of Sharma’s massive sixes in a record-breaking knock.
