The captain, Rohit Sharma, had a peculiar method of stepping up to accept the trophy after winning the T20 World Cup 2024 by defeating South Africa by 7 runs in the Barbados final on Saturday. This caused a renowned figure in the pro-wrestling business to respond.

With a stammer that mirrored the famous WWE walk of “The Nature Boy,” Ric Flair, Rohit was heading to accept the award from Jay Shah, the secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India.

The Indian captain was tagged by the WWE Hall of Famer, who wrote, “@ImRo45.”

Taking a Cue from My Own Strategy! WOOOOO!

It’s interesting to note that as Rohit and Kuldeep Yadav were waiting to collect their individual medals before the trophy was lifted, Kuldeep Yadav suggested that they do Flair’s famous walk. The Indian captain’s famous swagger, which went viral on social media, was inspired by Kuldeep, and for that, the Indian fans can really appreciate him.

A genuinely amazing period came to an end when Rohit, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja revealed after the game that they would also be retiring from T20 internationals.

India set the tone in the first innings thanks to a crucial half-century from Kohli, who had a terrible campaign despite Rohit, who had done well in the previous two matches, struggling to find his feet at the batting.

Rahul Dravid, the head coach, will also end his relationship with the Indian team as a coach. Gautam Gambhir is reportedly the front-runner to succeed.

The Men in Blue’s next assignment is a five-match series against Zimbabwe in July, when a somewhat younger group of players will compete. Shubman Gill has been named the team’s captain.
