Delhi: Recently, the Indian team defeated South Africa and won the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 title. Now the Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Jay Shah has made a big announcement. The BCCI Secretary gave big information about the finals of the ICC World Test Championship and Champions Trophy 2025. Shah said that Rohit Sharma will lead the Indian team in both the upcoming ICC tournaments.

It is known that after winning the World Cup, Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from T20 cricket. He will now be the captain of Test and ODI.

He said, “Many congratulations to Team India for the historic victory. I dedicate this victory to coach Rahul Dravid, captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja. This was our third final in the last one year. In June 23, we lost in the WTC final, in November 23 we won hearts, but could not win the cup. I had said in Rajkot that on June 24 we will win hearts and the cup and our captain did it. The last 5 overs were important. I want to thank Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh and Hardik Pandya. Next is the WTC final and the Champions Trophy. I am sure we will be victorious in both the tournaments.”

It is worth noting that the Indian team led by Rohit defeated South Africa by 7 runs in the final of the T20 World Cup. In this way, Team India became the champion of this format for the second time. Earlier, India had won the T20 World Cup 2007 title under the leadership of the great wicketkeeper batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni, but now the team has ended the 17-year drought.

Not only this, by winning the T20 World Cup, the team in blue jersey also ended the 11-year drought of not winning the ICC trophy. Earlier, India had won the Champions Trophy 2013 under the leadership of Dhoni. Although India was continuously reaching the knockout round of ICC tournaments, it failed to win the trophy.

Let us tell you that the T20 World Cup 2024 was played on the soil of America and West Indies. The Indian team started their campaign against Ireland, while they defeated South Africa in the title match. Rohit and company won all their 8 matches in the tournament.
