Under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, India finally ended their years-long ICC trophy drought by winning the T20 World Cup 2024. They defeated South Africa by seven runs in the final match. After that victory, many senior players of Team India were seen getting emotional on the field. The team’s star batsman Virat Kohli played an important role in the final match.
Speaking about his success in the tournament, Rohit thanked BCCI secretary Jay Shah, chief selector Ajit Agarkar and former head coach Rahul Dravid for their constant support. He also called them the ‘three pillars’ and said that his goal is to turn Team India into a winning team. The 37-year-old said that he does not worry much about statistics or results and wants to build a good dressing room and give freedom to all the players.

Team India captain Rohit Sharma said after being named the best male international cricketer of the year at the ‘CEAT Cricket Rating Awards’, “It was my dream to change this team and not worry too much about statistics, results, to ensure that we create an environment where people can go out on the field and play freely without thinking too much.”
He said, “This was what was needed. I got a lot of help from my three pillars which are actually Jay Shah, Rahul Dravid (and) chairman of the selection committee Ajit Agarkar. What I did was very important for me and of course not to forget the players who came at different times and helped the team achieve what we achieved,” Rohit said.
Rohit said that winning the World Cup was something that can never be expressed in words. He said, “(It was) a feeling that cannot come every day. When we won the World Cup, it was important for all of us to enjoy the moment, which we did quite well and also thank our country for celebrating with us.”
The Indian captain further said, “As much as it meant to us, it meant as much to the whole country. It felt great to bring it back home and celebrate with everyone here.” He said, “(It is) a great feeling that can never be described in words. I don’t think it is a feeling that can be expressed.”
