Struggling Virat Kohli is ‘probably saving’ his best form for the T20 World Cup final, Rohit Sharma said after India thrashed England to reach the showpiece event.
‘It’s very satisfying to win this game,’ Rohit said. ‘We worked really hard as a unit. To win like that was a great effort from everybody.
‘I thought we adapted to the conditions. They were really challenging. If we play according to the conditions, things fall into place.
‘At one stage we felt 140 or 150 would be competitive. Then we said 25 runs more. I can set a target in my mind, but I don’t want to let anyone know, because all of our batters are instinctive players and I want them to play freely.
‘I thought 170 was a very good score and the bowlers were fantastic.
‘Virat is a quality player. Any player can through that. We understand his class. When you have played for 15 years, form is never a problem. He’s probably saving it for the final.
‘We’ve been very calm. We understand the occasion of the final. It’s important we stay composed, because that helps you make good decisions. We have been very steady, calm, and that has been the key for us.
‘We’ll try our best. All I can hope is to put in another good show come the final.’
