In their Super 8 match, India's skipper Rohit Sharma wrecked havoc on the Australian bowling attack, scoring 92 runs off just 41 balls on Monday at the T20 World Cup 2024.

In addition, he broke the records held by former Bangladesh captain Mohammad Ashraful for the fastest fifty by a captain in T20 World Cup history and the most sixes in an innings set by Yuvraj Singh.

Fans celebrated Rohit's retaliation against the Australians on social media, making his innings memorable even though he missed out on a century.
