T20 World Cup: Rohit Sharma reveals why he deviated from usual template after match-winning show vs Afghanistan

India Today  

Rohit Sharma brought his carefree elegance to the table while KL Rahul was classy as ever in India's 66-run against Afghanistan in their must-win Super 12 game of the ICC T20 World Cup in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday. Exceptional batting from Rahul, and that partnership was vital,” said Rohit Sharma at the post-match presentation. While they would still have to bear the criticism of having flattered to deceive against Pakistan and New Zealand, Rohit and KL Rahul made a mockery of Afghanistan's inexperienced attack, putting up a record 140 runs for the opening stand. Getting to a respectable total was important, and the NRR could come into play so we had to win by a good margin, so glad we got that,” said Rohit.
