It seems it was not Rohit Sharma's day in Australia as the skipper also failed to put up a good score. Rohit scored just 27 off 28 balls. KL Rahul gave another disappointing performance with 5 runs off 5 balls. Suryakumar Yadav, who is ranked the best T20 batsman, could not manage a big score too as he managed 14 runs off 10 balls.
Alex Hales remained unbeaten on 86 off 47 balls and Jos Buttler scored 80 off 49 balls as England chased down a 169-run target in 16 overs at the Adelaide Oval on Thursday. England thus entered the final where they will take on Pakistan at the MCG on Sunday.
Put in to bat, India posted 168 for six after Virat Kohli's 40-ball 50 and Hardik Pandya's 33-ball 63. While the Indian bowlers failed to take a single wicket, Chris Jordan returned with 3 for 43 for England.
Speaking at the post-match award ceremony, the Indian captain said the team failed to handled pressure and were not "good enough with the ball".
"When it comes to knockout stages, it's all about handling the pressure. You can't teach anyone to handle pressure. When these guys play the playoffs in the IPL and all that, those are high-pressure games, and they're able to handle it," Sharma said.
Sharma said the way India started the second innings with the ball was not ideal.
"I thought we still batted pretty well at the back end to get to that score, but we were not good enough with the ball. It was definitely not a wicket where a team can come and chase it down in 16 overs," he said.
"When Bhuvi bowled the first over it swung today, but not from the right areas. We wanted to keep it tight, not give room, because square of the wicket was an area we were aware of - that's where the runs came today," the Indian skipper said.
