India's ODI Skipper Rohit Sharma revealed how badly India wanted to knock out Australia in the T20 World Cup 2024 as everyone in the dressing room was seeking a revenge for the loss that Australia gave to the side and the countrymen on 19 November 2023 winning ODI World Cup 2023 at India from the jaws of Sharma led team. Notably, India who were undefeated in the tournament lost the final game by 6 wickets. Travis Head's brilliant century gave India no chance to defend the meagre total they posted and it proved to be a scar that none Indian cricket fan would be able to move on with.

The Revenge
India gave a befitting repy to the kangaroos knocking them out of the T20 World Cup 2024 race defeating them in their final Super 8 match. The game was a do or die fixture for the Aussies to make it to top four as they previously suffered an upset losing against Afghanistan and loss against India would close all their doors. Rohit Sharma played his life's best T20 knock starring flurry of fours and gigantic sixes attacking the trio of Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins. He scored a magnificent 92 and the innings proved to be a game changer. Australia were knocked out of the tournament.
