When it comes to selecting the best inning of Rohit Sharma it’s too difficult to pick one. He has given us so many interesting innings that selecting one becomes a challenging task. He has plenty of great innings, whether we talk about his hundreds or those blazing-fast fifties. But if we talk about one special inning that is among the best if not the best then it surely be his inning against mighty Australia. Most fans were thinking that Australia had the upper hand in the match. This may be due to India’s loss against them in the ODI World Cup final. But this time Hitman had other plans. Since the start of the inning, he made it clear that he was going to play fearlessly and take revenge for the ODI World Cup, and guess what he did exactly that.
Although the match was Super 8, it was not less than any knockout as Australia had to win this match to qualify for the semifinals. The stage was set, and Rohit Sharma, the Indian captain, walked out to bat with purpose. Who can forget his 28 runs over against Mitchel Starc that broke the morale of the mighty Aussies? As a result of that India successfully qualified for the semi-finals and it was considered the Best Inning of Rohit Sharma.

Conclusion
Rohit Sharma’s 92 against Australia was more than just running on the board; it was a masterclass that showcased his artistry in performing against any team. The reason behind calling this one of the greatest innings is that it was his last World Cup (t20). We all know his recent World Cup was not as great as per his standards. Due to this inning, India knocked out Australia and later won the ICC trophy after 13 years. As the crowd erupted in applause, Rohit had once again proven why he’s one of the finest white-ball cricketers of our time.
