So many words but can't find the right ones: Rohit Sharma on Team India's T20 WC triumph
After a successful journey at the recently concluded T20 World Cup 2024 and winning the prestigious ICC trophy, India skipper Rohit Sharma said that he doesn't have the right words to describe the feeling.
Bridgetown [Barbados], : After a successful journey at the recently concluded T20 World Cup 2024 and winning the prestigious ICC trophy, India skipper Rohit Sharma said that he doesn't have the right words to describe the feeling.
The 37-year-old retired from the 20-over format after winning the T20 World Cup 2024. With 4231 runs in 159 games, Rohit is the format's best scorer going out. He also owns the record for most hundreds in T20 internationals. He has won two T20 World Cups: the first in 2007 while competing and the current one in 2024 as captain.
Rohit took to his official Instagram account and said that he is currently basking in a dream come true.
"This picture epitomises how I'm feeling right now. So many words but can't find the right ones to express what yesterday meant to me but I will, and I will share them, but right now I'm basking in a dream come true for a billion of us,"
