This photo of Rohit Sharma is of June 29, when India won the T-20 World Cup under his captaincy.
Rohit Sharma has shared a moment related to the T20 World Cup final victory. Rohit Sharma said that there was a time when his mind had gone numb, he was not able to think of anything.
The Indian captain said- Heinrich Klaasen had scored a fifty in 23 balls, for him it was just a matter of 4-5 balls. But it was important for me to focus on the responsibility given to me.
Team India had given a target of 176 runs in the final of the T20 World Cup. South Africa were restricted to 169 runs and the match was won by 7 runs.
What was Rohit thinking in the last 5 overs…
During an event in Dallas, Rohit Sharma said, “Our whole team remained calm and executed the plan. The last 5 overs were very difficult. I was not thinking too much ahead. It was very important for me to stay in that moment and fulfill my responsibility.
We all kept calm and tried to execute the plan. Staying calm under so much pressure helped the whole team a lot. South Africa needed 30 runs from 30 balls. The way we bowled shows how calm we were. We were not thinking too much, just doing our job. This proved beneficial for us.
India won the title by defeating South Africa by 7 wickets in the final of T20 World Cup 2024. This photo of Rohit is after the final match.
