In response to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s tweet congratulating India for winning the T20 World Cup in the Caribbean in 2024, Rohit Sharma said that the squad is moved by the joy the victory has given to everyone back home.

Rohit said, “Thank you so much, @narendramodi sir for your kind words,” in response to PM Modi’s tweet. The delight the cup has given to everyone back home makes the team and I extremely happy to be able to carry it home.

In a tense phone conversation with Team India on Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi thanked each player for their victory against South Africa in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup final at the Kensington Oval in Barbados.

Rahul Dravid, the legendary cricket player, received a special thank you from him, stating that his “amazing” career as head coach contributed to this achievement.

After India’s devastating defeat to Australia in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup final on November 19, 2023, Dravid, who will no longer coach Team India, is leaving on a high note. The remarkable path that Rahul Dravid took as a coach molded Indian cricket’s success. His steadfast commitment, astute strategic observations, and cultivation of the ideal personnel have revolutionized the group.

India is appreciative of him for his accomplishments and for motivating future generations. It gives us pleasure to watch him win the World Cup. Glad to have sent him my congratulations,” the prime minister said in a post on X.

Speaking with captain Rohit Sharma, he expressed his admiration for his T20 career and complimented him on his “splendid” leadership. He also remembered Virat Kohli’s contribution to Indian cricket and praised him for his player-of-the-match innings of 76 runs that helped India post a respectable total.

In addition, the two cricket players declared their retirement from the T20 international format after India’s historic victory that ended a 13-year championship drought.

After that, Modi praised the efforts of Indian bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya. Towards the conclusion of the game, he spoke favorably about Bumrah’s last over and thanked Pandya for his final over. He made sure to acknowledge Surya Kumar Yadav for his pivotal catch that perhaps changed the game in favor of the Indians against South Africa.

After India prevailed in the match late on Saturday, June 29, the Prime Minister praised the “Men in Blue” and issued a video message of congratulations. He said that millions of Indians have grown to love cricket.

“CHAMPIONS! Our group returns from the T20 World Cup in style! He posted the video along with the statement, “We are proud of the Indian Cricket Team,” on X. He called the thrilling match in which India overcame a resolute South African squad “historic.”

He stated that since the cricket players won the cup on the field and the hearts of millions of Indians in the countryside and streets, more than 140 crore Indians are proud of their accomplishment.

He said that it is not a trivial accomplishment in a competition when so many nations competed, pointing out that India did not lose a single match.
