The task for which Rohit Sharma was given the command of Team India about two and a half years ago has finally been completed. Rohit Sharma, who suffered the pain of losing two consecutive World Championship finals within the last one year, finally took a sigh of relief after making Team India the world champion under his captaincy. In the final of the T20 World Cup 2024 played in Barbados, Team India won the title by defeating South Africa by 7 runs. India got a World Cup after 13 years and an ICC trophy after 11 years and it was Rohit Sharma who could not sleep the night before the final.

Team India won the second T20 World Cup at Kensington Oval ground in Bridgetown after a long wait of 17 years. Rohit Sharma, who was a part of Team India that won the first T20 World Cup in 2007, did this feat as captain in what is probably his last T20 World Cup. As soon as Team India won, Rohit Sharma fell on the ground and lay there emotionally. Tears were falling from his eyes and he was hugging his teammates, showering love on his family as well.

'I couldn't sleep the whole night'

Then when it was time for the presentation, Rohit somehow controlled his emotions and came for the interview.

However, Rohit admitted that he is still emotional and he does not have words to express his feelings. The Indian captain told that he could not sleep the whole night before this match because he was impatient for this final and wanted to win it at any cost and hence somehow he was able to control himself on the field.

The result of 3-4 years of hard work

After this, Rohit told the story of the team's success, which was not written in just one night or one month, but was going on for a long time. Rohit said that this is the reward of the hard work of the last 3-4 years, in which a lot of things happened not only inside the field but also outside the field and the preparations done there are the result of this title win.

Rohit, who became only the third Indian captain to win the World Cup, said that in the last few years, the results for Team India in many high-pressure matches were not good, so the players knew what to do in a pressure situation and the team did the same in this final. Rohit also praised the team management, who gave the team the freedom to play freely and trusted them.
