The Indian team has recently won the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. In the final match held on 29 June, the Men in Blue defeated South Africa by 7 runs and won the T20 World Cup trophy for the second time. So after this victory, the happiness of the Indian cricket team and fans knew no bounds.

Also, when the Indian cricket team reached India on 4th July after becoming the world champion, it was welcomed very warmly. First of all, Team India met PM Modi, then Team India was also honored by BCCI officials at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

So, with this honor, Indian team captain Rohit Sharma, batsman Suryakumar Yadav, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shivam Dubey were called to the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly for the honor, because all four of them play domestic cricket for Mumbai. The players of his state were honored by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde by presenting them a shawl, a bouquet and a statue of Lord Ganesha.

On the other hand, during this honour, Indian captain Rohit Sharma was also seen giving a speech in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly. Rohit has said that he was able to win this World Cup due to the joint efforts of the team.

Rohit Sharma gave a big statement

Let us tell you that Rohit Sharma said as quoted by NI- My greetings to everyone. Many thanks to Chief Minister Eknath Shinde for inviting me here. Thank you for organizing such an event for us in the Legislative Assembly. What I saw in Mumbai yesterday was a dream. It was our dream to win the World Cup. I missed the opportunity in 2023. This is not because of Surya, Dubey or me, it has happened because of everyone.

Rohit further said- All my colleagues were with me, that’s why this has happened. The hero of every match was different. Surya did not catch the catch, well, I had a catch in my hand, otherwise I would have kept it in front of me. Thank you very much to all of you for this honor. (Marathi translation).
