When making a lighthearted jab at australia during the pre-semi-final news conference on Wednesday, june 26, before India's match against England, captain of india Rohit Sharma was beaming. The absence of australia from the competition, according to Rohit, was the main lesson to be learned from it.
 
With his spectacular 92 off only 41 balls during their Super 8 match, Rohit was a major factor in guaranteeing that australia was eliminated. After their defeat against Afghanistan, the Australians needed to win this game. india set a goal of 206, which australia could not match, even with a heroic knock from Travis Head. Later, australia would be eliminated before reaching the semifinals thanks to Afghanistan's victory against Bangladesh.
 
During the press conference, a reporter inquired about his main learning from the victory over Australia. With a broad smile, Rohit continued to make fun of the Australians. Then, Rohit went on to share his true thoughts on the victory, first praising the Australian team as a fantastic team. The captain of india stated that the main lesson he learned was how confident the team played across the board.
 
"No, see, I firmly believe that australia is a fantastic team. They have most likely won so many titles because of this. However, I believe that we can carry away from the last game the confidence that bowlers displayed in carrying out their strategies and hitters going out there and performing their duties. Let's play with our bats and our ball. That, in my opinion, was the major one for us. I believe that this format is all about confidence, and it can give you a lot of confidence to play against a good team and win like that with everything going into place."
 
"We wanted to take a lot of confidence that is getting the job done, putting the runs on the board, and then bowlers trying to defend that score. As long as you are confident in what you want to do - you are putting the right, you're putting the foot in the right direction, and that is what we wanted from that game." Australia's batting order is known to us. There is no safe score. However, our ability to defend and win by almost 20 runs gave us a lot of confidence going into this match, Rohit added.
 
According to Rohit, he personally enjoyed using his bat to put pressure on the bowlers.
