MUMBAI, INDIA - MARCH 31: Rohit Sharma of India bats during the ICC World Twenty20 India 2016 Semi Final match between West Indies and India at Wankhede Stadium on March 31, 2016 in Mumbai, India.

The onus is on the 'Hitman' to fire. He has got off to decent starts but has gifted his wicket away more often than not, unlike his partner, Shikhar Dhawan, who has once again had a dream ICC tournament. Rohit will know that he needs to play a big role in the upcoming knockout clashes.

The Mumbai Indians batsman has completed a decade in international cricket and the time is ripe for him to churn out a match-winning performance in a tournament semi-final. Dhawan has stolen the limelight in ICC tournaments thus far and Birmingham could just witness a Rohit Sharma special.
