Rohit Sharma was given the responsibility of Team India for the task for which he was given the responsibility of Team India about three years ago, and he finally did that feat. Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, the Indian cricket team won the title for the second consecutive ICC tournament. After winning the T20 World Cup on 29 June 2024, the Indian team also won the Champions Trophy on 9 March. Rohit made Team India a champion not only with his captaincy but also with his batting. With this, Rohit also equaled the great captain MS Dhoni.

Rohit equaled Dhoni

Before the final played in Dubai, Rohit's bat did not perform well in this tournament but the Indian captain made up for it in the final. While chasing the target of 252 runs given by New Zealand, Rohit gave a quick start and scored the highest 76 runs in the match and ensured the team's victory. Rohit was chosen as the Player of the Match for this brilliant performance. With this, Rohit did a feat like MS Dhoni. He became only the second captain to win an ICC tournament and became the Player of the Match in the final. Dhoni won the Player of the Match in the 2011 final.

What did Rohit say after the victory?

After winning the title and being selected as the Player of the Match, Rohit credited the entire team for this victory. Rohit said that the team played excellent cricket consistently throughout the tournament and in the end it was a very good feeling that the result also went in the team's favor. After this, Rohit talked about his innings and said that just like he had changed his game by talking to Rahul Dravid in the World Cup 2023, he decided to continue the same style after talking to the new coach Gautam Gambhir, and in this he got the support of both the coaches.

Rohit was clear about the plans.

Rohit then told a big reason for Team India's success and that was the clarity in his mind. Rohit said that he was very clear about the team and the team's plans. He wanted the team to have batting till number 8 and this time this is what happened, only then a player like Ravindra Jadeja was present to bat at number 8. Rohit said that this also helped him to play freely in the top order.
