India delivered a commanding performance in the 9th match of the T10 World Cup 2026, defeating West Indies by 8 wickets at Junction Oval with 3.1 overs to spare, thanks to a breathtaking assault from captain Rohit Sharma.

Batting first, West Indies struggled to build momentum after losing early wickets. The top order collapsed quickly under pressure from India’s disciplined bowling attack, with Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya striking crucial blows. Despite the setbacks, Jason Holder produced a powerful late surge, smashing an unbeaten 51 off just 18 balls, supported by Alzarri Joseph’s 25, lifting West Indies to a competitive 117/7 in 10 overs.

India’s response was nothing short of spectacular. Rohit Sharma led from the front with a sensational unbeaten 84 off 26 balls, showcasing his full range of strokes and dismantling the West Indies bowling attack. His innings, laced with explosive boundaries, effectively sealed the contest early. Abhishek Sharma provided solid support with a brisk 21, before Shreyas Iyer calmly finished the chase.

India chased down the target with ease, reaching 120/2 in just 6.5 overs, asserting their dominance and boosting their net run rate. Rohit Sharma’s masterclass earned him the Player of the Match, marking one of the most commanding individual performances of the tournament so far.
