At the start of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022, there were many talks around the intent to score quick runs in the powerplay overs, however, Rohit Sharma scored just 27 runs in 28 balls with the help of four boundaries. Rohit could not follow his own game plan in the semi-final.

Rohit Sharma the captain has failed miserably in this T20 World Cup 2022. He had the team he wanted and yet he could not end India's ICC trophy draught. Picking Ashwin over Chahal, giving Dinesh Karthik a chance over Rishabh Pant and a few questionable batting order changes are big takeaways from this T20 World Cup for Rohit.

KL Rahul - Never performs in pressure games

KL Rahul scored single digits in first three games then scored two back-to-back fifties in games where there was no pressure on India to win the game. In the semi-final, he again failed in pressure situation by scoring five runs in five balls.

R Ashwin - Not a wicket-taking bowler

R Ashwin over Yuvzendra Chahal is one of the biggest mistakes that India made in this T20 World Cup. R Ashwin is a quality red-ball cricketer but he was removed from the white team back in 2016-17 as India were struggling to pick wickets in the middle overs. India repeated the same mistake that they did in the 2021 T20 WC by playing Ashwin over Chahal.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar - Only performs when there is a swing at the offer

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has performed exceptionally well when there is a swing on offer but things go south for him when the ball is not doing anything. This has hammered India a lot in this WC.
