No DK. You played allright. Everything can't fall into right places.
You played an important role in that last over. I don't think anybody can run two and then three in those two balls. It was important. Do not discount them.

To be honest, Rohit Sharma has scored his last 1500 odd test runs on most difficult pitches across the world, where 99% of openers failed to score.
He is the best test batter in last 2 years.
Truth is this. Accept it or remain in grudge, your choice. Opening isn't easy mate...
Rohit Sharma in Tests in India:
Innings - 33
Runs - 1943
Average - 71.96
Strike Rate - 66.09
Hundreds - 8
Fifties - 6
He needs 57 more runs to complete 2000 runs in India.

People still defends Kohli's 50(40) and odi final's half century. While both were truly match losing.
If only match situations & 'what's next after him' matters, then Kapil Dev's 175 after 17-4 would never happen.
Hitting no boundaries between 10-40 in final where we lost.

I really like Rohit to retire from MI. It will free up 16 crores! But is it only about money?
Honestly, this is a dumb take if you consider facts:
1. Limit is 4 overseas. Then also, MI has to leave one of Brevis and Stubbs. If Pollard plays , both of them most likely to sit.

Like Pollard, there's another 35 year old in MI who hasn't performed for 6 IPLs. In a ruthless environment, he'd be let go first because Pollard still has value with the ball & in the field, and he can captain too. But then, some players will always enjoy more privileges owing

I think he tried hard in this approach in 2022 WC too. He failed to deliver there. And in whole 2023 IPL, he played like this. Again, he failed.
This is not an overnight process. A lots of hardwork & two years of sacrifice brings him to this position. Now, he's getting success.
If intent and unselfishness are the parameters, Rohit Sharma is the best batter in this World Cup.
Very few top players can change their intent and playing style this late in such a great career, but Rohit managed that switch after the 2022 T20 semi final!

Only Indian to play in 3 different continents. Asia, Europe (Sporting CP, CR7's childhood club), North America (Cansus City). Played almost all big clubs in India- and at 40, he is still going. Interestingly, he alone scored India's almost 1/3rd of total India goals ever!
