India's Aggressive Approach to Challenge England in T20 World Cup Semi-Final

India's approach to batting in the upcoming T20 World Cup semi-final against England has undergone a significant transformation since their conservative display in the 2022 semi-final. England had annihilated India by 10 wickets in that match, but India's head coach Matthew Mott believes his team has evolved since then.

"The way that they've approached it in the last couple of years is certainly taking the game on extremely hard in the power play," said Mott. "Rohit (Sharma) with the bat has led the way extremely well and shown leadership in that department, as has Jos Buttler for us."

Mott highlighted India's remarkable consistency in reaching the knockout stages of ICC tournaments, despite their inability to win a trophy in over a decade. "What India has done incredibly well over the last few years is put themselves in semi-finals contention," he said. "But I think the consistency that they've shown over a length of time shows what a great group of players they are."

England, on the other hand, have a point to prove despite being defending champions. They have not had the smoothest of runs in the competition, but Mott believes his team's best cricket is yet to come. "There's a general feeling that our best cricket is in front of us," he said. "I think we've been pretty good in patches, we've done some really good stuff over here, but we haven't put together that perfect game."

The match is expected to be a close contest, with both teams possessing formidable batting lineups and skilled bowlers. "It's going to come down to on the day," said Mott. "If you take those key moments at the right time, you get over the line, if you don't, you go home."
