Rohit in the runs as India rout Ireland in T20 World Cup

India captain Rohit Sharma allayed fears about an arm injury after making 52 before retiring hurt as his side thrashed Ireland by eight wickets in the teams' T20 World Cup opener in New York on Wednesday.

"Just a little sore," said Rohit at the presentation ceremony."New ground, new venue, wanted to see what's it like to play on. I don't think the pitch settled down, there was enough there for the bowlers."But off the last ball of the first over of the chase, India captain Rohit – on two – edged Mark Adair through the hands of Andrew Balbirnie at second slip.

The wicketkeeper, returning to international cricket after a horror car crash in December 2022, finished on 36 not out and ended the match with a typically flamboyant reverse-scooped six off Barry McCarthy as India won with more than seven overs left. "I don't know what to expect against Pakistan, we will prepare like the conditions are going to be like that," said Rohit.
