Rohit Sharma: The final of the T20 World Cup 2024 will be played (29 June) at Kensington Oval Stadium in Barbados. There will be a title battle between India and South Africa on Saturday. Meanwhile, Team India, captained by Rohit Sharma, has not won any ICC tournament in the last 11 years.

The Indian team is getting eliminated from the tournament by losing in the knockouts. This fear must be haunting the fans this time too. But before the title match, a tension that Team India has been facing since the last several tournaments has reduced. What is that tension? Let us tell you.

The worries of the team captained by Rohit Sharma have reduced

• Barring the 2021 T20 World Cup, Team India has reached the semi-finals or finals of every ICC event in the last 10 years.
• But Team India has failed to win the trophy continuously.
  The interesting thing is that Richard Kettleborough was the umpire in all these matches of Team India.
• Richard Kettleborough was also the umpire during the World Cup semi-finals in 2019 and 2015.
• Richard Kettleborough has proven to be an unlucky umpire for Team India.
• This time, Team India under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma has got rid of Richard.

Richard Kettleborough will not be an umpire in the India-Africa final

• Actually, the match officials of T20 World Cup 2024 between India and South Africa have been announced.
• This does not include England referee Richard Kettleborough.
  He will not be on the field during the match in Bridgetown.
• But it is not that he will not umpire in the final match. He will play the role of third umpire.
• Currently, Richard Kettleborough is one of the most experienced umpires.
  Kettleborough has umpired in 115 Tests, 164 ODIs and 58 T20 Internationals so far.
• But he has proved to be very unlucky for the team captained by Rohit Sharma.

Who will be the umpire on the field?

• If there is any on-field umpire in the T20 World Cup final, then New Zealand's Chris Gaffaney and England's Richard Illingworth will be the on-field umpires.
• Australia's Rod Tucker will be the fourth umpire. Chris Gaffney was the on-field umpire in the semi-final between India and England.
• Gaffney has so far worked as a field umpire in 189 international matches.
• 60-year-old Illingworth has played more than 300 matches.
