Fans Question Rohit Sharma's Absence from Press Conference Following T20 World Cup 2022 Semifinal Defeat Against England
Fans on Twitter have questioned Rohit Sharma's absence from the press conference following India's defeat to England in the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 semifinal. It was head coach Rahul Dravid who faced the press after the match.
Following India's shambolic 10-wicket defeat to England head coach Rahul Dravid attended the customary press conference. There is no hard and fast rule that a team captain should face the press after a win or defeat. However, fans have questioned Indian captain Rohit Sharma's absence from the presser. Many fans took to Twitter and expressed their opinions. One of the Twitter users even compared Rohit to Virat Kohli and highlighted the fact how the latter would attend the press conference even after a major defeat. India, on Thursday, lost to England in the semifinal and failed to qualify for the final.
No Press Conference?
Virat Kohli always had guts to face media not only in success but even in setbacks, unlike "new era captain" who sent Virat Kohli & Rahul Dravid after losing against Pak & SF vs ENG yesterday. pic.twitter.com/J58x52kXZl

No Address to Fans
In press conference, Rohit Sharma didn't address his fans. Just said, it was not our day?
Is that enough to console 1.3 billion or more fans in india? Shame on your captain. #T20WorldCup

FYI: @ImRo45 wanted to come for the Press Conference but Rahul Dravid insisted on going and take the blame
