He expressed contentment on the team’s semi-final victory over England and said, “It’s very satisfying to win this game,” he remarked. “We worked really hard as a unit.

Sharma highlighted his team’s resilience and adaptability in overcoming tough conditions to secure their place in the final. As the squad prepares for the crucial T20 World Cup finale, Sharma’s faith in Kohli will be vital for the team’s cohesion.
While Kohli’s current form has brought up concerns, His captain’s belief reiterates the collective confidence in the veteran’s capability to deliver when it matters most. The upcoming final presents an opportunity for Kohli to silence his critics and reaffirm his stature as a cricketing great.
