Men's ODI WC: We Were Under Pressure But Knew We Could Win If We Remain Calm, Says Rohit After India Beat NZ In Semis
With Kane Williams: With Kane Williams and Daryl Mitchell leading the charge for New Zealand in the middle overs, India were under pressure in the ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023 semifinal and it looked like the Black Caps would deny them just like they did in Manchester in 2019.
But skipper Rohit Sharma said they stayed calm and followed their assigned roles as he knew any good score could be defended at the Wankhede if the players applied themselves.
India did just that with Mohammed Shami providing vital breakthroughs on his way to 7-57 in 9.5 overs as India, after posting a massive 397/4 on the back of Virat Kohli's 50th ODI century and Shreyas Iyer's second ton in a row, came back strongly to bowl out New Zealand for 237 in 48.5 overs and scripted a memorable 70-run victory and stormed into the final.
