Rohit Sharma has joined MS Dhoni, Sourav Ganguly and Kapil Dev as one of the few Indian captains to win an ICC trophy. (Source X) Rohit Sharma couldn’t have ended his T20 career better than this. At the age of 37, Rohit gave himself two chances to win the ICC trophy last year, but he finished second both times. India finished runners-up in the ODI World Cup and the ICC World Test Championship. He could have ended his career without an ICC trophy. However, luck favoured him and Rohit led India to victory in the 2024 T20 World Cup and ended his trophy drought. In many knockout matches in the last 11 years, the team was knocked out of the knockout stage under extreme pressure, but this time Team India crossed the finish line. Rohit has become one of the Indian captains to win the ICC trophy along with MS Dhoni, Sourav Ganguly and Kapil Dev. Who is Yogesh Patel? 25 years ago, Rohit took admission in Swami Vivekananda International School. The school’s director Yogesh Patel gave Rohit a freeship so that he could study in his school. Patel has given some statements in an exclusive interview to India Today. A memorable ending for Rohit Sharma Needless to say, Rohit was nearing the end of his career. But his decision to retire from T20 came as a surprise to many. He had scored 257 runs in eight innings at an average of 36.71. His 92-run innings against Australia was specialespecially when he hit fours off Mitchell Starc. According to Patel, Rohit made the right decision to say goodbye to his T20 career. He said that instead of retiring under pressure due to other reasons, he made the right decision to retire in a grand manner. ‘Rohit knows what he has to do’ – Patel “It was a surprise and shock for us and the whole country because everyone wanted to see Rohit as captain; if not captain, then as a player. But when he announced his retirement, I felt it was a good decision because he was at the top. He is very smart, and he is also mature and talented. So, he knows what he has to do.” Will return in ODI format After winning the T20 World Cup, Rohit will be back to play for India in the ODI series against Sri Lanka in July. If Rohit is to win another ICC trophy, he will have to wait for about 12 more months, provided India reach the WTC final. The ODI World Cup seems a bit far-fetched as Rohit will be past 40 by then. But regardless of the results, Rohit will go down as one of India’s greatest captains.
