It is to be noted that Rohit Sharma’s 92-run knock against Australia is the second highest score for Indian cricketer in T20 World Cups, only after Suresh Raina’s 101 which came against South Africa at the same venue. Rohit’s 92-run knock is also the second highest individual score by captain in T20 World Cups after Chris Gayle (98 vs India in Bridgetown, 2010).
