India captain Rohit Sharma admitted Wednesday his team is "always under pressure" to end a world title drought which has now stretched to over a decade.


India tackle defending champions England in the second semi-final of the T20 World Cup on Thursday.


The cricket superpower won the inaugural edition in 2007 and were runners-up in 2014.


Their last 50-over World Cup triumph, meanwhile, came on home soil in 2011.


When the tournament returned to India in 2023, Rohit's side were comfortably defeated by Australia in the final despite having won all 10 games on their way to the championship match.
