'Big relief' for India to progress at T20 World Cup, says Rohit

India captain Rohit Sharma admitted it was a "big relief" for his highly-fancied team to reach the T20 World Cup second round after a seven-wicket win over the United States on Wednesday.

Despite Wednesday's defeat, the United States are still well-placed to join India in the Super Eights as they have four points while Pakistan and Canada are on two with a game each to play.

The US face rock-bottom Ireland in their last pool game in Florida on Friday where a win or even a no-result will put them into the next round.

"We've still got a game to play, so we'll regroup and come back hard against Ireland after some discussions," said batsman Aaron Jones who took over the captaincy duties from the injured Monank Patel.
