In a remarkable display of power-hitting, India rode on skipper Rohit Sharma's scintillating 41-ball 92 to defeat Australia by 24 runs, securing a berth in the T20 World Cup semifinals on Monday.

Opening the innings, Rohit smashed eight towering sixes and seven boundaries, propelling India to a formidable 205 for five. The Indian captain's blistering performance was especially crucial given the early loss of Virat Kohli. He dismantled Australia's pace attack, particularly targeting Mitchell Starc for 29 runs in a single over.

Australia, in reply, could only muster 181 for seven in their 20 overs. Travis Head's 76 off 43 balls provided some resistance, but Indian bowlers, including the impressive Kuldeep Yadav (2/24) and Arshdeep Singh (3/37), ensured victory for India.
