Rohit-led Team India improved their chances of reaching the T20 World Cup semi-finals with a thrilling five-run win over Bangladesh in a rain-shortened match. In an interview with popular sports presenter Harsha Bhogle following India’s impressive win over the Shakib-led side, Indian skipper Rohit praised Kohli, who was named Player of the Match.
He was always there in my opinion, it was just a matter of a few innings here and there, he got it in the Asia Cup. We had no doubts, and the way he’s been batting in this World Cup has been tremendous, and he’s really doing it for us (on Kohli), Rohit said after the game.
Former Indian captain Kohli set a number of records during his entertaining knock against Bangladesh at the Adelaide Oval. The 33-year-old remained unbeaten on 64 off 44 balls as Rohit Sharma’s Team India won their third T20 World Cup Super 12 match.

I also liked how KL played today. We know what kind of player he is; when he bats like that, he puts the team in a different position. Our fielding was excellent, and some of the catches we made were spectacular to watch.
It’s a high-pressure game, and taking those catches demonstrates our guys’ ability, and honestly, I never had any doubts about our fielding, Rohit added. On Sunday, Team India will face Zimbabwe in their final Super 12 match.
