Rohit Sharma on Wednesday said India was prepared to fight fire with fire in the semifinal against four-time champion Australia, which has forged its reputation on aggressive, uncompromising cricket.
India, which beat Australia in the quarterfinals in 2011 en route to winning the title on home soil, has been in Australia since November but didn't win a competitive match until the World Cup kicked off. Since then, Mahendra Singh Dhoni's squad has won seven consecutive games, bowling out the opposition every time.
India beats Australia with eight wickets
Top-ranked Australia has lost only one limited-overs international to India at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
