Luckily, for him and India, he returned to bat at the nets after a while. Barring one 50 against Netherlands, his scores this World Cup have been: 4, 15, 2, 15. Sharma hasn’t been in especially good form either: 150 runs in his last 10 T20 innings. And the team is hopeful that their captain would rise to the occasion of the semi-final and come up with a substantial knock.
India had an optional practice session on Tuesday which was attended by Dinesh Karthik, Hardik Pandya, Sharma, Mohammad Siraj and Shardul Thakur.
