Asia Cup 2022: India vs Sri Lanka - Rohit Sharma bails India out after poor start

When your team is 13/2 in a must-win encounter, you are under tremendous pressure.

And that pressure increases manifold when you're the captain and your team is in a spot of bother. But Rohit Sharma just wasn't in the mood to crumble! He rose to the challenge and how!

A counter-attack from the skipper followed that left Sri Lanka shocked. Fours, sixes - Rohit was finding the boundary at will.

His onslaught saw him get to his 32nd T20I fifty off just 32 balls. He's now level with Virat Kohli for most fifties in T20Is.

Even the destructive Suryakumar Yadav was happy to play second fiddle with Rohit firing on all cylinders.

The Indian captain eventually departed for 72, and it was his knock that lifted India from the gloom and doom.

Indian batsmen that came after Rohit struggled to provide the big flourish at the end, but even then the Men in Blue managed to sneak past 170, all thanks to his big knock.
