Then the T20 World Cup special won in 2007? When asked if the 2024 World Cup is special to you. When Rohit Sharma answered that it was in 2007 that India won the T20 World Cup for the first time.
That is where we showed our talent to the world. He replied that it was special for me as it was my first World Cup. Speaking further, Rohit Sharma said, “Similarly, every World Cup win is special for us.
2011 World Cup, 2013 Champions Cup will never leave my mind. My congratulations to Hardik Pandya who bowled the last over like this. He bowled well and gave us the win. Also, my compliments to Suryakumar Yadav’s catch which changed the course of the game.
I consider myself lucky to have such a team. I don’t want to single out just one or two players. Because the entire team has trained hard and is the reason for winning this World Cup,” he said.
AN UNFORGETTABLE DAY 💙
